Day 78: Did you know? Fonts

Did you know fonts can have accessibility issues, too!

Here's a list of things to look for in an accessible typeface:

  • Can you easily see the difference between capital I, lowercase l, and the number 1?
  • Type the letters b and d, p and q next to each other.  Are there differences other than their orientation to discern which is which?
  • Look at the letters g, a, and o; are the round sections shaped differently so they aren't mistaken for each other?
  • Do the letters rn next to each other (as in turn) look the same as the letter m?
