Hello, Charles and I propose the following requirements for these checkpoints (from "Determining Conformance to the User Agent Guidelines 1.0" [1]): Checkpoint 4.1 Allow the user to configure the size of text. Checkpoint 4.2 Allow the user to configure font family. Checkpoint 4.3 Allow the user to configure foreground color. Checkpoint 4.4 Allow the user to configure background color. Since fonts and colors are generally managed at the OS level, we propose stating that the user agent is expected to provide access to system colors and fonts. It's hard to specify a lower or upper bound for colors and fonts, so we would rather set expectations than firm requirements. One million colors is more than ample choice, but 16 or 256 probably suffice to provide access. For fonts, font family and text size go together except for vectorial fonts. For vectorial fonts or other magnification techniques, how do we establish acceptable limits? -Ian [1] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2000/05/ua-minreqs -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
