Kate Salm wondered: <<I was wondering if anyone knew of the legal
requirements for font size and publication accessibility and where to
obtain copies- specifically pertaining to font size. We have design
standards, but no copies of the actual laws. I know there is
something out there, I just can't find it, and searching the ADA
website turned up a lot of design standards for buildings but not
anything on documents.>>

Possibly do some searching here: http://www.section508.gov/
