Free Font Helps People With Dyslexia

Posted by timothy on 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."

    What a shame the guy never thought to test it on any dyslexics, instead of making up a load of random shit about how he thought his font would work. I mean, that must be what happened, since you're dyslexic and you've declared that it doesn't work. And all dyslexics must all be the same, since you didn't just say "it doesn't work for me."

    However that difficulty aside he is one of the most intelligent and articulate 16-year-old's I have had the pleasure of teaching.

    I sure hope you're not in charge of teaching him English.
