Best Practice N°4- LevelLevel 2- Section accessibility
Description
The font size of display characters is expressed in relative size and not absolute size.
Objectives
Allow users to enlarge fonts that are displayed on the screen.
Possible technical solutions:
Don’t modify the default font size. Use a unit which is relative to the user’s settings (em, ex, %) and not a unit which is absolute and dependent on the rendering of the device being used to access the information (px, pt).
