Increase text size beyond "huge"? [duplicate]

Is it possible to increase the font size beyond the largest size in display settings (currently "huge")? I tested text sizes with my parents and they said, one further level would be really helpful for older people, so they don't have to rely on their glasses when looking at the phone.

If the font size gets any bigger and people cannot read text on the 'huge' setting, then maybe they should be more reliant on wearing glasses and not crying out for more settings. Do your parents actually use SailfishOS devices or is this just a "it would be nice but not really necessary" type of request?

@Edz What's the purpose of your comment other than ranting on a friendly question which could help a group of users having difficulties finding a suitable OS?

Ranting?, lol no rant here friend. However, your question is a duplicate;

https://together.jolla.com/question/1062/enhance-the-readability-of-texts-in-the-ui-eg-configurable-font-size/ and I suggest you amend the original question with your idea for an even larger font size/sizes.

Thanks. Probably a fallback option if neccessary. My hope is Jolla adding another font size.
