You can make text at least 200% larger without losing content/functionality

Design and Developer Notes

Ensure the interface us usable when text is re-sized to 200%

People in many different circumstances, particularly those with partial sight, will find content easier to read if the text size can be increased.

Give people the ability to resize the text on the page if they need to. When using zoom, users should be able to get text to at least 200%.
