There are however only minimal differences between this criterion and [SC 1.4.9 Images of Text (No Exception)][sc1.4.9]. The two differences are that customizable images of text are allowed, and that images of text are allowed when the presentation cannot otherwise be achieved. These scenarios are so rare the rule ignores them as part of the assumptions, and so the [accessibility requirements mapping](#accessibility-requirements-mapping) of these two criteria is the same. +[SC 1.4.5 Images of Text][sc1.4.5] explicitly clarifies in its note that the success criterion is meant to address cases where images of text are used instead of actual text.
