No. Breakpoints are usally only based on the *widht* of a viewport and used to decide wether there is enough room for two or more columns. For the mobile version one would only display one column since a viewport which is only 40em wide may not provide enough room for content *and* a side bar. On the other hand a desktop viewport with 60em or more there provides enough space for a 40em wide content area and a 20em wide sidebar. But in both cases I would never try to connect the font size to the viewport width or height. I don't want to get text on a mobile device way smaller just because the viewport is smaller. Also I want to see *more* text on a desktop and not *bigger* text. Good responsive layout will use a *different* layout which fits the smaller viewport and not just scale everything to become smaller. -- Arno Welzel https://arnowelzel.de
