SC 1.4.5 Images of Text and exceptions

SC 1.4.5 indicates exceptions can be made when technology being used cannot achieve the desired visual presentation.   I wanted to know other people's thoughts on whether the technology delivery mechanism may also be a factor taken into account.

For example, many retail sites contain internal and vendor supplied product advertisements.  These materials may be delivered to a client as images.  Other times the client simply wants a promotion code or teaser to appear in a certain way.  How much flexibility is actually allowed in meeting the success criteria.  Would we need to evaluate the font face, anti-aliasing, and all of the factors discussed.  Put another way what information would need to be collected to provide proof that the technology available could not be used to achieve the desired visual presentation.

Best Regards,

Jonathan
