The world's sharpest magnification in Microsoft 365
People with low vision can now benefit from cutting-edge True Font magnification in the latest releases of Microsoft 365 and Office 2021.
While standard magnification can make text appear pixelated or fuzzy, SuperNova True Fonts sharpens on-screen text so it appears perfectly smooth even at the highest magnification levels.
Steve Bennett, Managing Director at Dolphin
From the release of version 22, True Font magnification is now enabled by default for people using Microsoft 365 current channel and Microsoft Office 2021 versions of Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint.
SuperNova users can also continue to benefit from True Font magnification in:
- Microsoft Office 2013, 2016 and 2019.
- Windows Desktop and Windows File Explorer.
- SuperNova Control Panel.
