Adapting Text

AA

New

If the technologies being used allow the user agent to adapt style properties of text, then no loss of essential content or functionality occurs by adapting all of the following:

1. line height (line spacing) to at least 1.5 times the font size
2. spacing underneath paragraphs to at least 2 times the font size
3. letter spacing (tracking) to at least 0.12 times the font size
4. word spacing to at least 0.16 times the font size

Note: Examples of text that are typically not affected by style properties are open captions and images of text, which are not expected to adapt.

Editor's note: The Working Group seeks to include overriding text color, background color, and font-family as part of this SC, but is not yet able to identify a way to do so that is sufficiently testable.
