About font size I don't agree with You. The obvious solution is to set the size of headings not too much greater than normal text so when the reader increases the size of the font on the device the size of headings won't be too large.

But many purchased ebooks I have show this problem with headings. If you need larger body-text for reasons of impaired vision, I still don't see why the software is set up up to assume that you want giant headings. Almost like it's mocking you!

ps: about old-style numbers I don't agree with You again but the important thing is that You shouldn't force the reader to see them. A Ebook is not a printed book: the reader have the choice about font (and line spacing, margins etc.) Who likes them can use a font with old-style numbers and who doesn't like them can use a font without them. There are font variants in some font but it is a complicated matter and they are rarely supported by ereaders or app.

I know they're rarely supported by ereaders or apps - that's what I'm complaining about! In fact, as far as I know they're not supported at all (except when the default figures in a typeface already resemble text figures). I'm not suggesting everyone should be forced to use them - I'm suggesting they should be an option for the person who puts the ebook file together, which could then be overridden by the user on their device.
