Dyslexic font support #6962
Comments
The font in question: https://opendyslexic.org/ |
Thank you for submitting this issue @C00kie-! This might be something that could be integrated in a theme. |
Thanks, |
Leaving this open; we don't currently embed fonts with Jupyter Notebook, so this would require some development effort. |
Thanks for taking the time to bring this suggestion @C00kie- Some of the Quansight and Jupyter accessibility team folks have been working on an extension containing themes with WCAG conformant colour contrast and using the Atkinson Hyperlegible Typeface by default. This might be a good starting point to gather feedback, identify other usability needs, and define which of such settings or features should be in the core of Notebook/JupyterLab and plan for that development and potentially design effort. |
this might be a heavy opinion to bring into to the core of jupyter. there is inconclusive evidence that dyslexic fonts improve the readability of a document. 1 while, i don't agree about adding specific font; i do believe in configurability. jupyterlab-fonts addressed this for v3 lab. we should be able to do this better with this new command palette studies of speed and accuracy 23 of dyslexic font usage indicated that features like background color, serifs, text spacing and line spacing can have great impact on readability than font family. these are controls we find in firefox's native reader application (see figure). gains might be made by exposing these text settings more prominently in the notebook configuration. firefox reader's native text configuration that modify serifs, whitespace, color and size.i'd imagine that dyslexic users who customize their system fonts to suit their needs would prefer seeing those, overriding font defaults could be a regression for accessibility power users. folks should be able choose a preferred custom font as a fallback though. webaim mentions css customization is one of my favorite jupyter features. we can actually override the jupyter font with a dyslexic font using the following cell magic %%html

Problem
I wish to use the notebook (and the lab) with dyslexic font.
Proposed Solution
Dyslexic font support integrated to notebook.
Additional context
Even if dyslexic fonts add-on aren't great for security reasons, in this case they can not access the text inside the notebook.
Thanks!
