I find this idea of a "dyslexia font" quite intriguing...now if only one could make a font that helps people like myself who have the flavor of dyslexia known as "surface dyslexia".
Folks with this flavor of dyslexia tend to read words from left to right rather than as a unit. For example, here is a list of words, which, when read as quickly as possible, are frequently mispronounced by people with what I've got, even though we know perfectly well how to say these words:
pint do yacht have flower angel sew gesture infrared
English is a terrible language for folks like us... German is far friendlier. :)

Hoi,
Between 7 and 10% of a population is dyslexic. For them reading takes much more effort than it does for the rest of us.
If you withdraw that statement now your apology might be accepted.
As it is, the English Wikipedia has a font available for people who are dyslexic. It is the OpenDyslexic font.
It is possible to configure en.wp and many other Wikipedias by clicking somewhere... There are a few questions I would like to ask:
- did you know this many people have a problem reading Wikipedia - did you know these people can be helped with a different fontThere really isn't much data to support that.
