A registered (not quite) blind person, I know, had great difficulty with
locked-down sites with no text size change option.
No one had told him about highlighting with CTL-A, then CTL-C and then
CTL-V
into a basic text handler , notepad/wordpad or whatever , where he could
easily increase text size and more importantly use a negative script.
Negative script == white on black. I don't understand why this
is the case but this does seem to be easier for folks with
*low* vision to read.
Every now and then a poorly-sighted browser praises my gimmic-free pages
on
the www , just text and pics
For years, I used a text only browser to surf the web.
Even now I disable images -- since most are just advertisements.
Why waste bandwidth on something that benefits an advertiser?
If I *need* to look at an image, I'll *know* which one(s)
I'll need to see.
This schematic was originally the negative form etched into a side panel of
the first? miniature oscilloscope.

This inversion of the original is much easier to read, size for size etc
otherwise the same pic. Try saving to a graphics package and doing the
negative of it
