FAST Checklist review for IFT

[svgeesus]

The following sections of the FAST checklist seem to apply to the Incremental Font Transfer specification:

If technology allows visual rendering of content

• There is a defined way for a non-visual rendering to be created. Does not apply; this specification is about the fonts used to create the visual rendering from the content, and not the content itself (which will define how to create non-visual rendering such as text to speech)
• Content can be resized. Yes, the font can be used to render text at different sizes
• Luminosity and hue contrast can adapt to user requirements. Does not apply; the CSS or whatever is requesting the font controls this, not the font.
• Text presentation attributes can be changed. Does not apply; the CSS or whatever is requesting the font controls this, not the font.
• Visual presentation of pointers and cursors can be adjusted. Does not apply; the CSS or whatever is requesting the font controls this, not the font.
• Changing content presentation does not render it unreadable. Does not apply; the CSS or whatever is requesting the font controls this, not the font.
• Technology does not allow blinking or flashing of content, or provides a feature for users to quickly turn it off or permanently disable it. Does not apply; the CSS or whatever is requesting the font controls this, not the font.
• It is possible to make navigation order correspond to the visual presentation. Does not apply; the CSS or whatever is requesting the font controls this, not the font.

If technology defines an API

• If the API can be used for structured content, it provides features to represent all aspects of the content including hidden accessibility features. Does not apply; this API transfers just the fonts, not the structured content
• If the API relies on user agents to generate a user interface, the specification provides guidance about accessibility requirements needed to enable full interaction with the API. Does not apply; this API does not require a user interface

Regarding the question: "Changing content presentation does not render it unreadable"
Missing a font a can make content presentation unreadable, if the particular missing font supports a character set not supported by any other fonts available. In this regard, IFT will effectively be a prevention mechanism, an aid that ensures the content is always readable.

Closing as A11y review concluded with no issues

The above checklist is also correct for the 9 July 2024 IFT WD
