Why this is important: Users with mildly low vision or some cognitive disabilities will benefit from text that is simply resized in a standard browser. Text that is styled to prevent this, or page layout that requires horizontal scrolling for large text, will be a barrier to these users. Even after all checkpoints appear to have been met, practical use by persons with actual disabilities, using their normal assistive technology or accommodations, may discover additional barriers that need to be fixed.
