Free Font Helps People With Dyslexia

Posted by timothy on Friday September 28, 2012 @07:32PM from the in-the-interest-of-manknid dept.

Thornburg writes "There is a free font available which has been designed to make it easier for people with dyslexia to read. DailyTech has a piece which pulls together a BBC interview and blog postings by the designer, Abelardo Gonzalez, who received a C&D letter from another font designer who charges $69 for his dyslexia related font."

Interesting, I often find the same reading things not succinct and broken into paragraphs.

Well, I'm going to make sure that my support group DAM (Mothers Against Dyslexia) hears about this.
