Typography - Resizing Text #8

Open jinky32 opened 9 years ago

jinky32 commented 9 years ago

Requirement: Users should be able to resize text up to 200% and it remain readable without assistive technology. It should be checked that up to this level of zoom responsive layouts do not cause problems. For example: truncated words; words overlapping with other content; or only one word of a sentence fitting on each line, causing the sentence to be displayed as a vertical column of text that is difficult to read.

Why is this required? Many users benefit from being able to enlarge the display, for example through the browser zoom settings, or browser ‘largest font’ settings.

We could basically ignore this requirement and have users control this with their browser's zoom control. However it would be really nice if we actually provided users with a little text-size control in the header or footer that increased or decreased font sizes - this would allow us to control the reflow with CSS.

@papafed agreed - the requirement is that as users use their browser zoom the text / line spacing etc means that the text is legible.

Text control in header could be a nice feature too.
