Hi Peter,
For a little further clarity, 14 point at font weight 700 doesn't mean a
developer should go:
.class {
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: 700
}
Pixels don't equal points, as Patrick showed when I asked last year (
https://webaim.org/discussion/mail_thread?thread„18). 14pt bold would
still need to be about 19.2 pixels to use 3:1 contrast ratio and still be
compliant.
