Dyslexia - Scott - 12-06-2013
Hey guys/girls,
I happened to come across a new type of font which is supposed to be much easier to read for people who have dyslexia, and I know a fair few people on here have it. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the font in general, and also there would be any interest in me adding it to the forum as a setting in your control panel to make it easier to browse the forum?
Here's a demo page for the font: http://opendyslexic.org/try-it/
Cheers

Id tell you if the website worked
RE: Dyslexia - ginge191 - 12-06-2013
I'm not dyslexic and it has the oppostie effect than desired, thats correct, right?
RE: Dyslexia - bigcheez2k3 - 12-06-2013
If it's just going to be an option that you can select and I can still view the forum as I am doing so right now, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be put in.
RE: Dyslexia - Scott - 12-06-2013
That's right, it would be harder to read if you're not dyslexic presumably

Yeah, it would have no effect on people as a whole, it would be an option you would need to enable in your user control panel.

Its pretty decent.
RE: Dyslexia - puglove - 12-06-2013
It does seem easier IMO. But is that in my head or for real :/ . Id be interested in trying it on the forum TBG
RE: Dyslexia - Jonny81191 - 12-06-2013
That'd give me a headache, but as long as it were an option, can't see why not.
RE: Dyslexia - Piggy - 12-06-2013
seems kind of admin simply to think of it. well done chaps
RE: Dyslexia - Fozzy - 12-06-2013
Didn't have any problems reading it i say go ahead, although im not sure if its just the fact it was bigger writing than i have on the forum.
RE: Dyslexia - Tom - 12-06-2013
It makes me read slowly aha. Seems like a good idea for those who would benefit from it
RE: Dyslexia - 4WayDiablo - 12-06-2013
Good idea methinks
RE: Dyslexia - Anton - 12-06-2013
Yeah the option would be good for both parties
RE: Dyslexia - Fooby - 12-06-2013
I do like the idea behind it and yes it would be totally optional.
RE: Dyslexia - Slam Wagon - 12-06-2013
Apparently its easier for people with dyslexia to read if its on light yellow or baby blue with black font. Just another option if you wanted to.
RE: Dyslexia - Dum-Dum - 13-06-2013
Im dyslexic and find that harder to read both highlighted and un highlighted
RE: Dyslexia - Just Sean - 13-06-2013
Scott, your so thoughtful.
Please can we make love

This!
the font makes it somewhat easier, but to have the option to change the background colour would work as well, everyone works differently though, i have a yellow overlay that works for me but others may be blue, green or red. Just something to consider
RE: Dyslexia - Matt - 13-06-2013
definatly alot easier to read for me
id be selecting this option and im not dyslexic
RE: Dyslexia - Grant - 13-06-2013
I can't read. Do you have a font for that?

Doesn't seem any easier to me, but then again my problem is more with writing than reading. As said about filters, I used to use blue ones at school and that helped a lot.
