  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
  3. Tell any dyslexic users they can change how the site is displayed!

FAQ

What font is that?! And why is it easier to read?!

See https://opendyslexic.org/ for more information; this plugin simply lets users toggle that font on or off.

It’s very possible that font choice won’t make a difference and as the OpenDyslexic website says, it “is not supposed to be a cure, a complete solution, or something you should apply uniformly to everyone”. But for the sake of a checkbox, it’s nice to have the choice.

What browsers are supported?

Anything that can use WOFF or WOFF2 fonts, so pretty much all of them nowadays.
