WKWebView resizes the fonts on web content so that a full-sized web page will fit on the device's form factor. If you want the web text in both portrait and landscape to be similar in size to the user's preferred reading size, you need to set it explicitly.
// build HTML header for dynamic type and responsive design
func buildHTMLHeader() -> String {
// Get preferred dynamic type font sizes for html styles
let bodySize = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: UIFontTextStyle.body).pointSize
let h1Size = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: UIFontTextStyle.title1).pointSize
let h2Size = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: UIFontTextStyle.title2).pointSize
let h3Size = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: UIFontTextStyle.title3).pointSize
// On iPad, landscape text is larger than preferred font size
var portraitMultiplier = CGFloat(1.0)
var landscapeMultiplier = CGFloat(0.5)
// iPhone text is shrunken
if UIDevice.current.model.range(of: "iPhone") != nil {
portraitMultiplier = CGFloat(3.0)
landscapeMultiplier = CGFloat(1.5)
}
// Start HTML header text
let patternText = "<html> <head> <style> "
// Match Dynamic Type for this page.
