text in images

Hi all,

I've been pondering the issue of text within images and would like some
opinions on the matter.

If a website uses graphical images of text and does not provide any
redundant text links, should the website fail compliance at P2?  My reason
for thinking this is that text within images is not sizeable (in the
traditional sense of being able to increase the font size in a browser) and
so would be equivalent to using a fixed font size - which would fail
checkpoint 3.4 (Use relative rather than absolute units in markup language
attribute values and style sheet property values) at P2.

Am I being too pedantic in wanting to fail a website for Double A
conformance for this reason?

Thanks in advance,
Sofia
