Here are a few of the things that the new dyslexie font does to help dyslexic people read easier.
1. Increase openings of the letters
2. Make the start and finish of a word bold
3. Use larger punctuation
4. Slant some of the letters (tipping)
5. let gravity emphasize the difference
6. lenghten or descend letters
since so many letters look similiar any way of making them different is helpful to a person with dyslexia.
The problem is that, well, you of course have to pay for this. It's not like it's a font that has been freely given to the public for the use of people with dyslexia.
It's sort of like charging a toll for the wheelchair ramp.
That is the sort of thing that disgusts me about our society. People see a need and their minds go to"cha ching". Is'nt there any such thing as altrusism anymore? Good grief.
