Inaccessible #92

This plugin is inaccessible to screen reader users as every letter is read out on its own. This happens because there are spans around each letter. Possible solution: Use aria-hidden to hide those spans for screen readers, while duplicating the text in the respective element and moving it out of the viewport so this duplicated text can be picked up by screen readers.

This is actually due to a known issue over on https://github.com/davatron5000/Lettering.js/issues/38, not a problem with FitText. Will leave this open until the title on the marketing page is fixed however.

This has been fixed in the Lettering.js repo and the gh-pages for the FitText website has been updated (b10ee57c4d44846ceee43240ca71eb213300fde6) as well. Thanks so much for filing and issue and keeping us accountable.
