 * Hi,
 * I’m having issues with a screen reader plugin that allows a user to change the
   font to the OpenDyslexia font. I contacted the plugin writer and he point me 
   to this answer below:
 * “I see a lot of specific font family for elements in your template, I suggest
   you to specify correct selectors to override desired text that must be rendered
   as Dyslexic Font.
 * Refer to this FAQ: [https://storejextensions.org/faq/why-the-screen-reader-doesn-t-resize-the-text-in-my-page.html&#8221](https://storejextensions.org/faq/why-the-screen-reader-doesn-t-resize-the-text-in-my-page.html&#8221);
 * Any ideas on how to do that?
 * Thanks!

 * I suppose you are talking about the plugin WP-OpenDyslexic. It would help to 
   explain what issues you are facing. Be that as it may, I installed that plugin
   and enabled it for my profile. AFAICS, there is nothing in Elementor that specifically
   prevents the plugin from working. The only issue I noted concerns the fact that
   Elementor is using certain characters that are simply not present in the dyslexix
   font. For example, you may need to avoid using any objects using the elementor-
   icon class.
 * Otherwise, in my installation the plugin overrides any font family settings made
   in Elementor.
 * So what is your issue?

 * Hi Josiah,
 * I’m using the Screen Reader ([https://storejextensions.org/extensions/screen_reader.html](https://storejextensions.org/extensions/screen_reader.html))
   which enables visitors and users to use the Open Dyslexic font if they prefer.
   However, it doesn’t work on my site (dyslexiahillday.org).
 * But thanks letting me know the Open Dyslexic plugin. I have installed that as
   well.
