1850497 - Font size controls in the PDF viewer are hard to use and not accessible

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect, P3)

Description

[[:sergesanspaille]]

When editing a pdf with pdf.js and adding a text field, we have a slider to control the font size. It is not always easy to match exactly the font size of other elements of the pdf visually, sometimes just typing the right size might be better / more accurate and ultimately fits better within the document.

That being said, I also like how clean current interface is, so I'm not sure how to make it possible to specify that size.

Just filed this same issue on GitHub earlier before being redirected here (thanks Jonas). I would like this to be prioritized like an accessibility bug because while I also uncovered it due to having the same issue (struggling to match two annotations to have the exact same font size on an inaccurate mouse), I realized that it can be a nightmare for users with mobility issues and therefore we should at the very least provide an option to specify the font size in another way without relying on the slider even if it comes at the cost of the "cleanness" of the UI.
