Subject: Low Vision Style Sheets
No previous message | Next message →

Hi List,
Last week someone asked me to post my
style sheets to the list. I attached
them but [WebAIM] wisely doesn't allow
attachments. The following directory
contains the files. Your are free to
download them.


http://www.csulb.edu/~wed/CSS/

The directory contains two files:
userContent.css -the style sheet and,
ReadMe.html - directions

Note that this is my style sheet for
my own reading. It has some problems.
I am a computer scientist and they
don't bother me. A normal end user
might be confused.

The typography is the interesting
part. I just got tired of the
typography sighted people thought I
would like.

To see a description of the typography
transformations see
http://www.csulb.edu/~wed/ITAcc/ITAcc.html

Just look at the example section.

For most people with low vision
reading improperly styled print is
painful or nauseating or both. We
also get lost tracking the lines and
seeing all the letters. This style
sheet is my "non-puking" sheet. It
works for me but may drive another
partially sighted person crazy.
Reading on the margin of sight is that
delicate.

Hi

I've been told by several people with vision issues to avoid the use of
italics, no matter what the font/size/weight and have been doing so. How do
you feel about this? I see you have italics in your style sheet.

Thanks for your time

Susan

I work for Florida Blind and had complaints over ten years ago regarding
italics from customers. I now only use italics for books, magazines,
and such publications and use it with the cite format code. (One of our
bureua's is the Braille and Talking Book Library). I have had no
complaints since I made this change.

Note: the only other choice for titles would have been underline. I
reserve underlines for links.
