The OpenDyslexic font has been specially designed for dyslexic readers to reduce the unintentional mental movement of typographical characters. (BBC News - OpenDyslexic font gains ground with help of Instapaper) To enable the OpenDyslexic font on Wikipedia:
- Locate the languages cogwheel icon on the page, or simply click this one:
. Having located the cogwheel, click it- In the default Vector 2022 skin, it is accessible through the language selector dropdown menu, which appears as:
XX languages, in the upper right corner of the page. The icon will be at the bottom of that dropdown menu. - In other skins, it can be found at the top of the "Languages" section of the page's left sidebar.
- In the default Vector 2022 skin, it is accessible through the language selector dropdown menu, which appears as:
- Select "Fonts"
- Tick the box labelled "Download fonts when needed", if it is not already ticked
- Select "OpenDyslexic" from the dropdown
- Click "Apply settings"
- Refresh the page
To read the OpenDyslexic font properly, you may need to increase the zoom level in your web browser. In most browsers, this is done by pressing Ctrl + (or ⌘ Cmd + on Mac).
