| Kathy Eng | I don't know. My questions are documented below. | I don't think 1.4.6 should be included since it requires minimum 7:1 (4.5:1 for large text) because the passing examples 2,3,4,5,6 would not pass.. |

| Kathy Eng | I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. | Passed #7: Perhaps "Sample of Helvetica font" might be better than "quick brown fox..."? Either way, not certain this is "non-text content" and that aria-hidden should be true. Passed #8: Add "Note: Because this is non-text content, success criterion 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast requires font example to have a color contrast of 3:1." Contrast ratio is 3.6:1. |
