No problem, in my instance this isn't going to cause a problem - and just having the font available makes it all that more special. Thank you for your work, I appreciate it.

As an update, this is almost certainly an internal Word thing. I will eventually print this poem in a book and if I export it as text from Word and then import into Bookwright and apply the font at that point - no issue. (Well not that I can see with a test couple of paragraphs).

I am using the latest version of OpenDyslexic (the 4.4MB file) which has 4 .otf files which I have installed and see in Word.

Applying the font to a document with existing text OR exporting the characters as as MacOS .txt file and then importing into a new word document and applying the font gives the same on screen appearance where the lines in a paragraph of poetry do not appear to be the same physical font size, though Word believes they are. If one over-types the smaller characters, their appearance changes to be the 'correct' size. It doesn't seem to be Word kerning or spacing or hidden font nonsense (as clear formatting makes no difference).

I am stumped. Any ideas anyone? I thought I might try and older version of the font but I don't see a separate download link for that and the Download Now file doesn't seem to contain the older variants.

I have attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean - look at line 2, the start and end appear to be different sizes, and neither the same as line 1 or 4. In line 3 the word 'might' is in italics.

This is OSX 12.7.6 if that is relevant.
