[games_access] Query about font size for subtitles in games

[Sandra Uhling]

Hi,

I am not sure, but maybe the WCAG has some information about sizes?

One big problem is that for TV there are lots of different rules.
I am wondering if there are some official rules?

Best regards,
Sandra

Thanks a million, Sandra! I already have read the article, but it does 
not provide any detailed information, other than you should choose the 
right font size, but if possible I would like to have some more definite 
information.

Many thanks for your help!
