Dear Jean-Philippe, Please download and install Jonathan's LXDE version of Sonar and all your questions shall be answered.
The LXDE team has been very wise and correct in including accessibility among their core bojectives, but they will change their mind very quickly if all they hear from the blind community is: "do this for me and do that for me, because I cannot take the time to research or help with anything". There is a lot of good will and good intentions, but we are all just getting started. Documentation is being talked about and as that evolves, I am sure there will be a section for accessibility. Something that I suspect is not included in the Sonar version of LXDE is magnification. However, despite some initial difficulties with cursor tracking, about which we are talking with the developer; there is already someone using the eZoom plugin for Compiz Fusion on LXDE. My apologies in advance for being a little blunt earlier. Everyone has been quite cooperative and if there are specific questions that do not involve summarizing everything that is available, please go ahead and send it to the list. In all likelyhood someone more qualified than I will be able to answer.
