visual-line-mode adaptively wrapping when changing font size

visual-line-mode works fine for line wrapping in eww-mode. However, when I type C-x C-+ / C-x C-- to change the font size, the line wrapping does not adjust accordingly. Does anyone know how can this be achieved?

Can word-wrap / visual-line-mode have different right margins per paragraph?

When visual-line mode is enabled, words wrap at the window edge. When the window is wide, this makes much too long of a line for comfortable reading. To fix that I have found visual-fill-column-mode, which makes it so that words wrap at a 70-column…
