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

Hey Fedi,
For those who don't know, my mother had a major #stroke a little over a month ago. We're very fortunate to live in a country (Canada) where we have free #healthcare, but as her discharge from the #hospital looms closer, we're having to raise funds to make #accessibility modifications to my parents' home so that she can return. Boosts are welcome (and appreciated).

Hey all,
I have a friend who's been trying to get on Mastodon but tells me that it doesn't seem to play well with screen readers. I know there are plenty of people on the fedi who do use screen readers, but I have no experience with them myself, so I can't really direct him.
Can someone who does use a #ScreenReader point me in the direction of some resources that might be useful?

@The Witchy Bitches @👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @Matt Campbell @ADHDeanASL @Panamanian❤️🔥 @Superdave! @Lanie I believe he's recently switched to a Linux distribution* (which I understand doesn't play well with screen readers to begin with). I can ask him for more details. Unfortunately he's in the UK, so I can't assist in person.
* I don't know which.

I've tried using some of the fedi web apps with a screen reader and yeah they tend to be horrible
There may be some native apps that do better in that regard

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •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.
