- Gordonjcp 4y agoI've always found these "make things easier for dyslexics" things to make reading far far harder than just picking an nice clear font and contrasty colour scheme. I know a few folk who find that sticking the text on a greeny-yellow background helps them massively and they have a setting on their PC that makes their monitor look knackered, like it's lost the blue gun ;-) But that does seem to make a difference. I don't find wobbly hard-to-read fonts help at all.
