"This is an accessibility issue that we are aware of and hope to be able to address in the near future. "
I really don't think this is an important matter that would need permission to post anywhere. It isn't a secret. Perhaps I am out of line here, but the purpose was only to show the wide ranging awareness of accessibility issues, and an item of general interest. That there was an issue, perhaps a small one according to some, that a government website had a small problem, but were aware of it and are going to address it. It was nice that they responded...etc. Why they haven't is beyond me, but then so are a lot of things...It certainly got some interesting feedback, whereby everyone gains perhaps?
Various opinions on font-size here naturally...I 'sometimes' use Internet Explorer, as many do, so fixed fonts can be important if you have poor vision and are used to a certain way of enlargening them. I believe that issue is mostly settled...I'm an amature here, but I switched to em, small x-small and % on my sites...and that's just fine "It gives me the warm fuzzies."
All I know is when I went to adjust them as I normally would in ie, I couldn't. Not a big deal to me, as I have reasonably good vision, but for some...maybe it would be. Simple and basic
