Re: [orca-list] missing feature, orca should be announcing font attributes in firefox.

[Jon <j orcauser googlemail com>]

Dear all,

The issue of speaking font attributes in firefox is already filed here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434780
Previously this was a firefox bug, but this has been remedied in firefox 
3.1.

Thanks
-Jon
