This is a very large amount of info. I'm concerned that having this much info will make the report formatting command far less useful, since it is too much info to absorb and means you can't get a summary of the most important formatting info. Also, I'll wager most of this isn't directly visible to sighted users without using dialogs or toolbars. For example, number of decimal places and currency type are only reflected in the value of the cell, so this info is just as evident to a screen reader user as a sighted user without including it in formatting info. I also very much doubt the type of data is reflected for a sighted user. Anything that isn't obvious to any other user shouldn't be listed in this command. It is only really meant for info which can't be communicated as part of the value.

Suggestion to modify the font info to be announced as follows:

ont name
font style
if underlined, the underline style
font size
font text color
background color
vertical alignment
horizontal alignment
wrapped or not
merged or not
text direction
degrees at which data is present in a cell
number format category
number ofdecimal places
type of cell border

Instead of having all this information spoken at once, can we have nvda pop a dialog that has this information? Most of the information suman has mentioned in her comment is actually evident to a sighted person simply by looking at the text but I doubt if hearing it as a single string will be easy for a screen reader user to absorb.

I have started working on this issue and I wanted to know how should we move forward with presenting this info. Hearing it as a single string will be too much verbose for the user to absorb, so should we present all this in a dialogue box which displays on NVDA+f and the user can navigate up an down within the box to know these properties.

It's now possible for a user to browse font information by pressing NVDA+f twice. See #4908.

Most of these formatting items are now reported.

@ManshulBelani, I'm going to close this. If there are still formatting items you want to implement here, please file separate issues with full details, use cases, test cases, etc. Thanks!
