I think that for fonts it would be good to have the following:


Regular (for speech)

Italic (to indicate either a speaker,special effect/room sounds etc)

Colour (to change the colour for ALL CC text, to accommodate colourblind/low vision)


I don't think it's necessary to be able to have underline function or assign different colours for various speakers/sounds etc (so shifting from one colour to another through out a movie/programme etc) - it tends to distract more than anything and the only really "readable" colours are white, yellow and MAYBE the light blue colour...the rest just are annoying IMHO)



I do think that being able to adjust the size of the font would be very good if at all possible.


If the font is pre-determined, for what it's worth the CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) recommended to me when I was doing some research for a university paper on accessibility, that "Tahoma Font" is the easiest (or one of the top 2 easiest) "readily available font(s)" to read.  CNIB also has a down-loadable font especially designed for low-vision accessibility which is VERY similar to Tahoma.)
