More recent research showed no benefit from a font designed for dyslexics: "Dyslexie font does not benefit reading in children with or without dyslexia" https

  Use a different font then. I know dyslexic people who have had dyslexic fonts installed on their school computers because they found it amazing. If a report says it's no use, try a different dyslexic font...or read a different report!

    > Use a different font then. ...no shit? The research specifically was about one particular font ("Dyslexie") having no benefit, not that all fonts have no benefit.

      And the original comment was about Comic Sans being helpful, not about Dyslexie. So you can read it as "If Dyslexie shows no benefit, better use another font, like Comic Sans".

    ... or get different sets of dyslexics for your experimentation, until you find one that validates your hypothesis!

  Research which needs to be evaluated itself, could be biased, methodologically wrong, etc. In the end dyslectics konw waht tehy konw!

      No need for multicore literacy, just concurrent

        They are without mutex, lock free, running with race conditions.
