Aug 27, 2020 at 16:54 comment added Sebastian Simon The line-height was originally exactly 1.3, if I’m interpreting the CSS rules correctly.
Aug 27, 2020 at 16:49 comment added MaxD Also interesting to see how they themselves are at the very bottom of their own range instead of somewhere in the middle like you'd expect. Maaaaybe because line-heights that big aren't actually that good.
Aug 27, 2020 at 16:39 comment added Andrew Leach @MaxD Yes, that page is set for line-height: 1.5; which is within their own guidelines. I think I'd like to see how the W3C came up with those figures though. It's quite likely that the range they suggest is down to font considerations such as I give here.
Aug 27, 2020 at 16:36 comment added MaxD Ironic that even the webpage where they got the 1.6 from is perfectly readable, just our dear SE obviously has to be different... w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/C21.html
