Could someone look into how readers and editors could be given an option to use the “OpenDyslexic” font? This would seem to be a good fit with WMF’s mission of making knowledge be globally accessible. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19734341. Thanks, Pine

This font is getting huge publicity lately - people are asking me about it all the time. I'm pleased to say that the Foundation's Language Engineering Team already started to work on adding the support for it to the WebFonts extension.

b and d are perfectly symmetrical. What about horizontal dyslexia ? Le 07/10/2012 16:59, Amir E. Aharoni a écrit :

That's a question to the font developers, not to us. We are just integrating it :) -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T. Moore‬
