10% of English readers have some form of dyslexia

New font to save the day?

My daughter is dyslexic so this one close to the heart.

Dyslexics who have trouble reading words online and in print may soon find relief in a new typeface being developed by a Dutch designer.

That looks pretty cool, though I couldn't bring up the www.readregular.com site mentioned in the article.

Must be overwhelmed with traffic.

Yeah, that and the new clustering search engine site have been overloaded since I saw the first announcement posts here. I got into the dyslexia-related site, but could never find out whether/where/how they intend to deploy their fonts. I might like to try their fonts on some live pages and get some real user feedback, but I couldn't find the info because the site is so bogged down. Try again later...

Still, I don't think the new font looks as promising as it may sound. A little disappointed. There are still some letters that are virtually unchanged (like b vs. d, p vs. q). She could've done a much better job than that...

I don't think the new font was based on any real research/testing...
