[FEATURE] Apply the "Dyslexic Friendly" chat font to the Code tab in Claude Desktop

Summary

Claude Desktop already ships a dyslexia-friendly font: Settings → General → Preferences → Chat font → "Dyslexic Friendly" (shown as "Accessibile per dislessici" in the Italian UI). It works in the Chat and Cowork tabs.

The Code tab (the embedded Claude Code terminal) ignores this setting and always renders in the default monospace font.

Why this matters

I have dyslexia, and Claude Code is the only part of the product I use daily. The one accessibility setting that would help me is the one part of the app it does not reach.

The result is inverted: the surface with the densest, longest, most technical output — diffs, stack traces, tool output — is the least readable one.

A setting that is present but inert is worse than one that is absent, because it reads as "this is handled" when it is not.

Requested change

Either of these would solve it:

1. Apply the existing "Dyslexic Friendly" font choice to the Code tab terminal as well, or
2. Add a separate font setting for the terminal — a font-family field would be enough, since users who need OpenDyslexic generally already have it installed locally.

Option 1 is preferable: the setting already exists, the value is already stored, and nothing new needs to be designed.

Notes

• This was previously reported in #40469 (opened 2026-03-29, labelled area:a11y and area:desktop) and closed as not planned after going stale — not, as far as I can tell, after a decision against it.
• Related: #44248 asks for a customizable response font in Claude Code.
• The embedded terminal appears to be xterm-based with the monospace stack fixed in code, so there is no user-side workaround inside the app.
• The current workaround is to run Claude Code in an external terminal, where the font is configurable. That works, but it means giving up the desktop app in order to get an accessibility setting the desktop app already offers.

Environment

• Claude Desktop for macOS 1.24012.11
• macOS 26.5.2, Apple Silicon (arm64)
• Chat font setting: "Dyslexic Friendly" (active)
