Does anyone happen to know if there's an easy way to get #emacs's nov.el package to display text using the #OpenDyslexic font? I was hoping there was a customization variable, but it seems not.

Perhaps I could run it in a terminal editor and change the terminal's font, but then I'd lose things like images.

I can hack something together if I really need to, I'd just rather not if there's a simpler solution available.

Edit: I was able to do this through M-x customize-face

@MelissaBearTrix nah, #ComicSans is a bad font in terms of #licensing and it's overuse makes everything written in it impossible to take serious.

  • If you want to make things accessible for heavy cases of #Dyslexia, then #OpenDyslexic is a better alternative.

  • If you want something less obvious, consider #LEXEND which was specifically designed as a high-legibility alternative to New Century Schoolbook.

  • If your problem isn't Dyslexia but the need to read something under adverse conditions, consider #B612 & #B612mono which have been designed for #Airbus as #font for their instrumentation, manuals and checklists as well as anything else in and on an aircraft.

OpenDyslexic

OpenDyslexic is a typeface designed against some common symptoms of dyslexia.

made accessible so blind and dyslexic people can scromit with us I would never gatekeep scromiting based off of one's abilities

Since I'm here I wanna get right into contributing to the community so here are some distro's I made like yesterday:

There's 2 more images but I guess I'll just reply with them.

@nekoewen JFC!

Of all the nice #fonts they could've chosen (#B612 / #B612mono, #SunGalantDemi, #LEXEND, #OpenDyslexic ... ) they chose the worst one with the worst #licensing terms...

@neuSoM Ich kenne #ComicSans oft nur bei Leuten die weder #OpenDyslexic noch #LEXEND kennen...

@neuSoM Die Verwendung von #ComicSans lässt das ganze leider weniger seriös erscheinen.

Ich empfehle als Alternativen #OpenDyslexic, #LEXEND und #B612 wenns um Lesbarkeit ankommt.
