Comment : | 6. Section 2.2.7.3.3.1, Lines 4-5 (p. 2-37): The discussion states that "comparable characteristics such as font size or voice volume and speed must be the same for all choices." This requirement cannot always be met. For example, if the name field is limited in size and a candidate's name exceeds the field size, the only option is to reduce the font size to make the candidate's name fit in the field. Other candidates with names that fit without adjustment in the field would be shown in the standard font size, while the candidate with the long name would be shown in a smaller font size.
