$.animate() cannot animate fontSize as documented

[anonymous]

In the documentation here: ​http://api.jquery.com/animate/

It shows that fontSize can be animated, however, this is not possible. $.css() works as predicted, even with incremental and decremental type operators += and -=

I've tested our fontSize animation examples out in Chrome, Chromium/Dev, Safari and Firefox 5 and they they appear to be working fine without any issues. This even works fine with + (​http://jsfiddle.net/rvZsT/1/) and - (​http://jsfiddle.net/rvZsT/2/).
