4 days ago Findings so far:
- I tried that Chrome plugin and indeed it doesn't work on any Arches page
- I checked that there were no fixed font sizes (px) or letter-spacing values in the css and there wasn't
- In Chrome dev tools, I manually changed the css letter-spacing and word-spacing and it worked
- I added this bookmarklet and it worked
- So far I can only presume that the plugin in question simply does not work on all web sites
After a discussions it was decided to park this and wait for Imogen to come back off leave next week and discuss what her thoughts are on this matter.
Given I am a user that has difficulty reading text When I use assistive Technology to increase the spacing of the text to meet WCAG requirements Then The text remains unedited and remains in the default spacing
Users who have difficulty reading text will often uses assistive technology to change the spacing of text to make it easier to read, the current page does not allow for this change, making the page harder to use for these users When testing this, I usually use the chrome extension "Text Spacing Editor" which can be found here
1.4.12 - Text Spacing Users should be able to override author specified text spacing to improve their reading experience. No loss of content of the functionality is lost by changing the spacing. More detail of the specific line spacing can be found here
