I really think that the risk of that is minimal. If the site is designed
with the four core principles of accessibility in mind, any techniques
used to achieve those goals will continue to remain compliant with WCAG
2.0. During the implementation, new or better implementation techniques
may be created for various platforms but the techniques themselves do
not equal compliance. That was the whole idea behind the development of
WCAG 2.0.

Thanks for your reply Keith. I have done this before, but I would have
thought adding graphic text using CSS would be preferable as then
people using Mobile phones and other non-css supporting browsers would
just get the text and not a graphic that's 3 times the normal size!

Actually, on my own website I put the img tags in using a bit of
Javascript. That way I can resize the graphics with CSS and they scale
nicely like you've described and anyone who has scripts and CSS turned
off will just get the normal text...

It's on the main nav graphics:

Cheers again for your reply.
