OpenDyslexic Font

David_W — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 17:55:06 GMT

Was reading the article on the BBC about the OpenDyslexic Font which is useful for people with Dyslexia. Is there any way it could be incorporated into the forums and/or the main website so people with dyslexia could choose the font as an option?

Wouldn't this font be something downloaded and set as an option in your browser?
There seems to be a 'Chrome' extension anyway. And Safari.

I've just installed the chrome plugin and it's working perfectly as far as I can tell (although I'm not dyslexic).

I'm plugin adverse myself, well, apart from Flash! I guess the question would be how many people have it installed as a plugin, though I suppose if you are dyslexic the odds are you already know about the font and use it?

Yes I know about the font, no I don't use it, it is no good for me!
