Hi chinatogalway, my personal assessment as a partially sighted person:

- As Robin alluded to, I have real trouble with white reversed out on a black background. I can understand why this is the case in the print industry, whre multiple printing of different coloured inks are superimposed to create the background. Any slight variations in registration cause the outside of the text character to become blurry. I don't know what happens on a PC monitor, it takes me two or three times as long to read reversed out text. (My OT has demonstrated imaging gear to me that deliberately creates a reversed out image for some 'low vision' people. This is a digital enhancement of analogue CCTV output for reading books and newspapers - expensive gear I might add. There are some 'blind' people for whom this is an advantage. This 'negative' approach to text display MAY be available as one of Microsofts Accessibilty Options, but for obvious reasons I've never explored it.

- The text which appeared on my screen was an ornate (and attractive) Celtic style font. I found it very hard to read.

- I might have the jargon wrong, but in my monitor's default settings (in Windows) I choose the minimum size and (I guess) the maximum pixels per text character, hence I could only read about 60% of your left justified text at 1:1 magnification using Opera.

There are clearly many important positive qualities about your site, but my first dot point would be enough for me to continue browsing elsewhere. If I'm really interested in a page I'm often forced to wade through the HTML source code.

Thanks for the chance to comment.

Regards, John
