How can I change the font

Question

As someone who is profoundly dyslexic, the font used by JIRA is very difficult to use. When will JIRA provide additional font options? Currently, Jira is the only tool I need to use at work, that doesn't have the capability to change fonts.   From a readability and inconclusion perspective, I'm very surprised definitely disappointed.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only user with a learning disability who has brought this to your attention. Today, I only use JIRA when I have to and do the minimum requirement level. This has become a contentious point between my manager and me. As much as I don't want to, I will probably have to take this up with Cisco's human resources.

I'm not sure what Atlassian is thinking with the font choice.

I can't tell you how many times I've commented on a ticket to click something just to have it look like dick because the c and l letter spacing is too close.

P.S.  I also found these:

* Atlassian Accessibility

* Accessibility Support Portal (available via email at a11y@atlassian.com)

Hi, @Bobby McKernie. Welcome to the community 👋

By the way, this community is largely comprised of Atlassian customers like you (a peer network). While there are some Atlassians who contribute here, and Atlassian partners, the majority are customers/users.

To try and answer your question, we'll need to know if you are using the Atlassian Cloud platform or the Atlassian on-premises platform (aka Data Center).Hint: If you access Jira via a URL that looks like <something>.atlassian.net, you are using Cloud. Otherwise, you are likely using Data Center.

Your Jira administrator can tell you for sure.

To share your concerns and wishes directly with Atlassian, please open a support ticket with them.

Let us know how you decide to proceed.
