Dear Phil, You miss the point. Jaws, ZoomText, NVDA, Magic and Luna do not use the profoundly flexible rendering capability of IE, Firefox, Chrome , Safari or the PDF Reader. I saw some new stuff at CSUN that really used the web data structures well, but not really using the visual rendering technology of the mainstream user agents. Maybe I am wrong. I do not mean this sarcastically. I was not aware that ZoomText and Magic could give me my exact presentation profile or that I could view web pages with no horizontal scrolling using ZoomText, Magic or Luna. I have never been able to get any thing but a zoom that required horizontal scrolling. Also, i never could get the colors and fonts that prevented fatigue. If I can get that with say 400%-600% enlargement I am thrilled. Here is my main profile (text, color, line length profile). I have left out special styles for headings, form elements, links, lists and tables. Lets just look at the case of the basic stuff. font-family: APHont, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 40pt; line-height: 1.33; letter-spacing: 0.03em; word-spacing: 0.07em; color: #000000; background-color: #E1DDD7; background-image: none; max-width: 30em; min-width: 15em; Style Specification (*) Assume this is for the body and other elements inherit. How do I obtain that using ZoomText , Magic or Luna with the natural word wrapping that every other user gets using Firefox, Chrome, IE or Safari? Can I get the flawless enlargement of scalable fonts? If you can show me how to do that I'll withdraw all my comments. If you cannot, then we are talking about what was identified in Brown vs. Board of Education, separate and inferior. Phill this comes across sounding sarcastic, I am sorry. I don't mean it to be. I just cannot do that stuff with any screen magnifiers. Can you? Can anybody on the list do it. Specifically: -Use a commercial screen magnifier to give the specification (*) above -This process must work for WCAG 2.0 conformant web page -The resultant view must be operable -The view requires horizontal scrolling.
