[gui-talk] typeform info question

Insert with F is probably the easiest way to get font info from a web
page, or anywhere for that matter. Another way that is a bit more
involved and could potentially give too much info, depending on what
the user is after, is to change the JAWS Sound Scheme. Use the
keystroke Insert Alt S, choose a scheme like attributes and font info,
and then press enter. Then, all of the font information should be
spoken as one arrows through the page or does a say all. Note that
depending on the scheme chosen, the information can be anything from a
little to way too much. Another scheme in that list is called Web Rent
a Crowd, where each element and font information has its own voice,
which can also get to be too much at times, especially on busy web
pages.

Good luck,
Wayne
