[Nfb-web] Fonts for low vision

[Robin Brunner]

Hi all -  this website may be specifically helpfu, and you could search 
webaim more
http://www.webaim.org/articles/visual/lowvision.php
summary:  Use true text and hight contrast
Also, review some preferences for modified serif and/or  sans serif fonts. 
There is some arguement here.  Even people with the same kind of Low vision 
can have different experiences and preferences.  Here's one reasonable 
perspective
http://www.sesa.org/newsltr/Fall99/fontslv.html
summary:  Use Verdana, Arial, Helvetica
I have used big screen,  large print and screen reader for about 20 years, 
and have recently learned to code html, css and a little php.
My best to all inclusive and welcoming designers!
