[MD settings] a11y direct link to font settings

Project Member Reported by dschuyler@chromium.org, Apr 13 2017

Issue description

On chromeos
on chrome://settings/manageAccissibilty
there is an option that will take the user to 'customize your text size'.

Clicking on that button will bring the user to the Appearance section on the main page (where the font size is buried among other options).
I may be better to take the user to the Customize fonts subpage directly, where the font size control is prominently shown.

It's a bit odd that this subpage navigates to the main page with a subpage row. Also, it's talking about changing the font sizes in the label. Should/could this go to the font settings subpage instead of the top level page?

The first image is the page navigating from.
The second image is where it was navigating to.
The third image is where I'm proposing that it navigate to.
The fourth image is the new navigating from page.

dschuyler, it seems you already have a CL for this? Assigning to you instead.

Alan, what changes can we make here? I'm ready to make the change to go to the fonts page, but there was concern about wanting the font size dropdown. Is there another good option?

@dschuyler: Is this issue still relevant after crrev.com/2815163003.
@#5 Yep, it was specifically created to separate it from that Cl. While this would have been an alternate solution for that CL. This issue is not fixed by that CL.

Dave this is a WontFix, yes?

I'd like to change this because it's a user journey that is not excellent. The user is clicking a button to go edit their font settings and we're taking them to a location that is only partially about font settings (when we could take them to a location that is precisely about font settings).

The discussion at the time was about whether a dropdown is a preferred ui element over a slider. That's a bit orthogonal to whether the user is taken to font settings UI or not. So I think this is still worth some discussion.*

Some possible solutions are one of:
- take the user to the Customize fonts UI instead of the Appearance UI
- separate the text settings from the Appearance UI and take the user to that new UI
- change the Customize fonts UI so that it's more appealing (somehow - just trying to get past the slider vs dropdown issue) and take the user to that UI
- put the font size dropdown directly in the a11y UI (and not link to Appearance or customize fonts - just change the font size right there).

There are a lot of possibilities. It's not a high priority issue, but there's still something that could be more excellent.


*This is more of a reminder for those who were in that discussion, others can probably ignore the reference.
