+### Can I use `egui` with non-latin characters?
+Yes! But you need to install your own font (`.ttf` or `.otf`) using `Context::set_fonts`.
+
+### Can I customize the look of egui?
+Yes! You can customize the colors, spacing and sizes of everything. By default egui comes with a dark and a light theme.
+
+### What about accessibility, such as screen readers?
+There is experimental support for a screen reader. In [the web demo](https://emilk.github.io/egui/index.html) you can enable it in the "Backend" tab.
