When fonts are defined in relative units, the actual point size is calculated by the user agent for display. The point size should be obtained from the user agent, or calculated based on font metrics as the user agent does, when evaluating this success criterion. Users who have low vision would be responsible for choosing appropriate settings. </p></div> <div class=\"note\" id=\"issue-container-generatedID-117\" role=\"note\"><div aria-level=\"3\" class=\"note-title marker\" id=\"h-note-117\" role=\"heading\"><span>Note 4</span></div><p class=\"\">When using text without specifying the font size, the smallest font size used on major browsers for unspecified text would be a reasonable size to assume for the font.
