If you have , do alternative fonts in apps help with the reading experience?

If yes, are Atkinson Hyperlegible or OpenDyslexic useful fonts to use with ? Are there others (that are freely redistributable).

The attached screenshots show what this would look like.

Please boost for reach.

@Tusky You should probably consider that OpenDyslexic is not supported by the relevant research into how dyslexia works, and is instead based on some unsubstantiated personal ideas of its developer.

That's not just my opinion; there is a lengthy issue about this topic on the Google Fonts repo here: github.com/google/fonts/issues

The original intentions may've been well-meaning, but it's misinformation that I'd strongly object to being re-boosted.

Atkinson, conversely, is well-done & research-based.

@n8 @Tusky THIS!!!

am rabidly dyslexic and a web designer and vehemently, PASSIONATELY hate that g'dman font. it's horrible.

personally, am partial to NOTO, DROID & ROBOTO. they don't tire my eyes.

bare minimum of accessibility for me, includes changing font, font size, colors & spacing.

here's how i've changed the maston.social deck, using the Firefox extension STYLUS.

i need visual variety, if not, won't see whole chunks of text while reading
