Rahul,

My reference to stress font scaling has *more to do with height than 
width* (although you may get a little horizontal crossover among the 
three adjacent lower columns).  When the fonts are scalled the image 
containing text should drive the text block beneath it down, rather than 
overlapping it as it does now. I did not then, nor I have I now, looked 
into exactly what is restricting the veritcal height and causing that 
/vertical overlap/.

As far as the accessibility matters are concerned, they may be questions 
of opinion best directed to WSG or dropped if you ae comfortable with 
what you have.

Best,

~uncle david
