minus-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·19 days agoCan I ask if you can provide a link or three or so to refer to relevant dyslexia friendly fonts? I happen to have a very mild form of dyslexia, where either written or typed, I’ll sometimes mix up my lowercase ‘u’ and ‘y’ I always catch the mixup within less than a second and correct it before I ever post, but yeah I’m kinda interested in this question myself.
minus-squarePissmidget@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·19 days agoI’m guessing they mean the standard dyslexia font that’s been passed around for some time, https://dyslexiefont.com/en/, or maybe since this is Lemmy, this one that has open in it’s name https://opendyslexic.org/
minus-squareTVA@thebrainbin.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·19 days agoThe Braile Institute also has one that I like a lot (but, I don’t have dyslexia, so can’t say how it compares to the others)
minus-squareChaosMonkey@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 days agoFYI the link you shared seems to be a Google tracking link. The destination URL is https://www.brailleinstitute.org/freefont/
