Dyslexic-Friendly Font

Each note has a Dyslexic-friendly font toggle in the editor title bar. When enabled, the note's live preview and most export formats render in OpenDyslexic — a typeface designed to increase readability for people with dyslexia. The wider letter shapes and weighted bottoms help reduce the visual confusion that standard typefaces can cause.

What changes

  • Live preview — the markdown preview pane switches to OpenDyslexic immediately.
  • PDF export — the font is embedded directly in the PDF, so it displays correctly on any device without requiring the reader to have the font installed.
  • HTML export — the exported HTML references OpenDyslexic via a web font, so it loads automatically in any modern browser.
  • Markdown export — unaffected, since Markdown is plain text with no font information.
  • Word (DOCX) export — the document's style references are set to OpenDyslexic. If the reader has the font installed, Word will use it; otherwise Word falls back to its default font. This is a limitation of the DOCX format — fonts cannot be embedded the way they can in PDF.

How to use it

  1. Open a note in the editor.
  2. Check the Dyslexic-friendly font checkbox in the title bar (next to the note title).
  3. The preview updates immediately. Exports generated while the toggle is on will use the dyslexic-friendly font.

The setting is saved per note, so you can enable it for some notes and leave others in the default font (Lato). Toggling the font also invalidates any cached exports, so the next export will always reflect the current setting.
