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

@me "easy" is debatable but you could try putting the cursor in a line of the text you want to change the font for and doing 'M-x customize-face'

@me (also, thanks for making me aware of the existence of this package! While looking at the project repository I did see some instructions for changing the default font: https://depp.brause.cc/nov.el/)

This page has the setup/customization instructions, including for desired font:

@leadore Awesome! This looks promising.

@me reading the readme it seems that nov.el use the `variable-pitch` face for it's font. You could modify that.

@me As it happens, I was changing font on #Emacs just yesterday. M-x menu-set-font will open a font browser and let you choose, and it works. You can also select this from the 'Options' menu.

This however isn't 'sticky' -- next time you start emacs it will have reverted.

I found that

(set-frame-font "OpenDyslexic")

in my init.el works to change it persistently.

@simon_brooke @me There's an entry in the Options menu somewhere to save your settings after you have done M-x menu-set-font
