New Dyslexia-Friendly Font in Canvas
Posted on 08/05/2025
Instructure, the Canvas LMS parent company, released a new support font which is “easier to read for users with dyslexia.” This recommendation made by educators across the country, can now be applied in a new “user-level feature flag which replaces the default font in Canvas with Open Dyslexic.”
What to Expect:
No matter the role, everyone can enable this feature within their Account. Simply,
- Click on the Account button on the navigation bar
- Scroll to the bottom and toggle the “Use a Dyslexia Friendly Font” from left to right.
Voila!
The Open Dyslexic Font is now available as a default.
