Dyslexia Font for Microsoft Word

Word can use any font installed on your computer. Download a font below, install it once, then use it in every document — or let this converter make the Word file for you.

Download font

DOCX and copied text keep the font name. The computer that opens them needs the font installed — use “Download font”.

1. Download the font

Use the Download font button in the converter. It gives you a .zip file with the font files and their licence. All three fonts are free to use under the SIL Open Font License.

2. Install it

Windows 10 and 11

  1. Open the downloaded .zip file and choose Extract all.
  2. Right-click each .otf or .ttf file and choose Install (or Install for all users).
  3. Close Word completely and open it again.

Mac

  1. Double-click the .zip file to unzip it.
  2. Double-click each font file. Font Book opens; click Install.
  3. Quit Word (⌘+Q) and open it again.

3. Use it in Word

  1. Select your text, then type the font name in the font box on the Home tab.
  2. To make it the default for new documents: Home → Font dialog launcher (the small arrow) → choose the font and size → Set As Default → All documents based on the Normal template.
  3. For extra letter spacing: Font dialog → Advanced → Spacing: Expanded, by 0.5–1 pt.
  4. For line spacing: Home → Line and Paragraph Spacing → 1.5.

Or download a ready-made Word file

Paste your text into the converter and click Download DOCX. The file uses your chosen font, size, letter spacing, line spacing and page colour. Word has no setting for word spacing, so that one is not included.

Sharing documents with others

A .docx file stores the font name, not the font. If someone opens it without the font installed, Word shows a substitute. On Windows you can embed the font: File → Options → Save → tick Embed fonts in the file. Recent versions of Word for Mac have the same option under Word → Preferences → Save. Word for the web can’t use fonts you install yourself, so it will show a substitute font.
