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).
Alternatively if that method does not work, login or create an account and add the following code to Special:MyPage/common.css:
@font-face {font-family:OpenDyslexic;src:url('https://github.com/antijingoist/open-dyslexic/raw/master/otf/OpenDyslexic-Regular.otf');font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}
@font-face {font-family:OpenDyslexic;src:url('https://github.com/antijingoist/open-dyslexic/raw/master/otf/OpenDyslexic-Bold.otf');font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;}
@font-face {font-family:OpenDyslexic;src:url('https://github.com/antijingoist/open-dyslexic/raw/master/otf/OpenDyslexic-Italic.otf');font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;}
