Font customisation for readibility #748

Open exur00 opened 10 months ago

exur00 commented 10 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have difficulty reading many commonly used fonts, as well as the default font of this application. Many people suffering from reading difficulties find it a lot more manageable to read certain fonts, like opendyslexic.

Describe the solution you'd like A setting to be added allowing for the user to select the font used by SEB

Describe alternatives you've considered Changing the default font on windows takes registry edits, so I was unable to try that

Additional context

Thanks for your input. Have you tried changing the accessibility settings in Windows itself?

exur00 commented 10 months ago

I tried searching through the accessibility settings in both my windows 10 device and a friend's windows 11 device, but could only find font size settings, not font selection.

A quick internet research shows that under Personalization > Fonts you have the possibility to install new fonts on the system. From there, you'd apparently need some registry changes to set a certain font as a substitute of the system default font. It would be great if you could try that out, that way potentially having a workaround for the time being.
