One of our accessibility-course delegates has come up with something that has me stumped at this stage: they want to represent greek letters on their page. They currently use <FONT> to switch to the symbol font to do this, and another delegate argues for Gifs with ALT text. My views are: 1) Font tags Are wrong. 2) gifs with ALT text: Do not scale, but better for screen readers and older browsers 3) use a <SPAN> with locale change to greek don't know if this would work, possibly more correct. not sure about how most browsers will receive it. 4) Character entities : Probably purest way, probably inaccessible to screen readers and older browsers Does anybody have a view on this? or any decent resources I can review? Regards, Steve
