Re: Orca outputCharAttributes is speech only?

Hi Mike.  I'm afraid I don't know if that's what I'm referring to or
not. <grin>  What I'm wondering is this:  How does a braille user
identify that the current text is, say, 14 point Times New Roman?  A
speech user can obtain this info by pressing Insert+F.

Thanks and take care.
