Re: Checking font sizes in Android and iOS mobile apps?

I use the "ruler" approach too. Not very elegant but is "good enough".
Testing for contrast on mobile isn't the easiest. For the contrast itself,
I take a screenshot then send to my PC then use CCA to snag the color
values.

On a related note, I had written up some thoughts on testing 1.4.4 on iOS
and how to measure what a 200% font increase would be. I'll send my notes
as an attachment in a follow up posting because the file is 230K and the
limit to posting here is 250k and the attachment didn't come through the
first time. (I guess the 230k file size combined with the text of my
posting were too big).

I think attachments make it through to forum subscribers although I'm not
sure about digest subscribers. And I don't think attachments are saved in
the archives so if you read this posting some time in the future, you won't
see the attachment.

Also, these are just notes so they're pretty rough. Certainly not
publication-worthy.
