Description Roger 2 2026-04-27 12:08:36 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1: With Orca enabled, open the fonts page.

2: Use tab to navigate between the buttons.

Current result: Some buttons remain unlabeled, making identification by the Orca screen reader impossible.

Expected result: Pressing tab should allow the buttons to be read with the Orca screen reader.

Comment 1 Nicolas Fella 2026-04-28 09:40:14 UTC 
The buttons are easy enough to fix. There are some more accessibility issues in that page though. Some of the form entries don't have working labelled-by relations. That's a bit harder to fix
