Honest question: what is a good font for dyslexic people?

- politelemon 5y agoAnother one is OpenDyslexic https://opendyslexic.org/ https://opendyslexic.org/ Notice how parts of the letters are weighted. That helps with identifying which part of the letter is bottom. And its monospace equivalent for coding is OpenDyslexicMono
- GordonS 5y agoAs someone without dyslexia, I find that really difficult to read! I'm all for accessibility, but I personally wouldn't want this to be the default - would be great if users with dyslexia had the option to set it as their default though.
- rbinv 5y agoTampermonkey should be able to enforce typefaces across websites: https://www.tampermonkey.net/ https://www.tampermonkey.net/
- hutzlibu 5y agoHm, I do not have dyslexia either and I find it maybe a bit odd at first glance, but not difficult? Is it maybe just a matter of getting used to it? Otherwise sure, the bewt option would be probably for people to use their own font and make it easy to do so (@browsers)
- tomthe 5y agoInteresting! I haven't heard of something similar before. Does it help you to read?
- politelemon 5y agoOh sorry I wasn't clear, I get these fonts for my coworker(s) who have accessibility issues, so I just listen to what they say. This open one was their current preference.
- arkades 5y agoSurveys of the dyslexic population suggest that the crowd favorite is Dyslexie. Even a. Lot of dyslexics hate opendyslexic.
- TorKlingberg 5y agoControversially: Comic Sans. It turns out to be very readable for short bits of text, especially for people with dyslexia.
