Quick Tip: WCAG Text Spacing
WCAG requires that no loss of content or functionality occurs when the end user overrides page styles for paragraph spacing to 200% of the font size, text line height/spacing to 150% of the font size, word spacing to 16% of the font size, and letter spacing to 12% of the font size. Ensure that your page text can be modified without it disappearing or overlapping other page content. This can be tested using the Text Spacing Bookmarklet found on the HTML3 Accessibility page.
