I think that the point of this discussion is partially missed, making font
size scalable is not just about making a site accessible for people with
special needs - it benefits everyone! Consider this scenario:
Acme Company hires Zippo Web Dev to create their website
Zippo decide 8px Arial is really funky for the main text - sells Acme on the
idea.
Site is launched, looks beautiful.
John Doe has no disabilities, accesses site, can't read text, his options:
Leave site, never to return
Tell all his friends what a crappy site it is
Email Acme to complain
If the information is critical to JD, consider legal complaint under
Disability Discrimination Act.
Do you think Acme would hire Zippo again?
