Jan,

I can't speak about HomePage Reader, but by default, the jaws settings for
Internet Explorer (and probably Firefox as well as other HTML documents) is
to not pick up changes in font etc. It would really get in the way I have to
say. Screen reader users are going to get emphasis from the words
themselves. My advice would be, don't get hung up about it for screen reader
users.
