https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=273885 Bug ID: 273885 Summary: Accessibility: review use of italicised green monospace in manual pages Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Keywords: accessibility Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: grahamperrin@gmail.com CC: doc@FreeBSD.org Today, at first sight, <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=auto-update-system&sektion=1&manpath=freebsd-ports> appeared wrong. First line (header of the manual content): the italicised green monospace words, immediately adjacent to upright non-green numbers in parentheses. Comparing with a recent capture from <https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/*>, I assume that the change from upright black to italicised green, in headers and footers, is fairly recent. 8th August 2023: <https://web.archive.org/web/20230808175410/http://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tcp_bbr&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+14.0-CURRENT&arch=default&format=html> – upright black. manpath=freebsd-current for the same page, captured today: <https://web.archive.org/web/20230917091918/https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tcp_bbr&sektion=4&manpath=freebsd-current> – italicised green. Generally ========= Amongst the top five results for <https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?query=accessibility+monospace+italic&cat=web>: Font - Low Vision Accessibility Task Force <https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/low-vision-a11y-tf/wiki/Font> Quote: > italic text is often difficult to read with low vision, I find <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hier&sektion=7&manpath=FreeBSD+15.0-CURRENT#HISTORY> particularly difficult, and so on. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
