« from the small precious things collection: | main | Conference gets ugly »

reblog, for context

I know I've noted tis before, but since we're talking large font versions..

The Sacramento Bee -- toolbar is another example of a tool for changing fonts.

a confusing, mysterious tiny tool. But we're moving in the right direction.

My biggest question is how can be let people with poor eyesite be aware of the large font version without overwhelming normally sighted folks? it's nice design challenge.

People with poor eyesight have the font size turned up on their web browser, which works fine unless you or Jakob Nielsen go around defeating their intentions by making hardcoded HTML demands on font sizes.

Anyone who develops content in html would probably be interested in the accessibility guidelines.
