Per conversation today, Note 4 can (and should) be simplified. Since we are measuring in CSS px, there is no reason to mention viewing distance. Also, no need to mention Arial.
Current:
For non-web software expected to be viewed at a distance of approximately 15 3/4 inches (400mm), good practice is for the default presentation for text to have an x-height that is at least as big as Arial font at 16 CSS px, which at 200% zoom would be 32 CSS px.
I propose:
It is a good practice is for the default presentation of text to use a font with an x-height of at least 8 CSS px.
