    I don’t know about comic font and dyslexia connection. Im using it as just another font.

    Curious if you’re running the comic font for accessibility reasons. It’s not my taste aesthetically but I’ve heard its great for folks with dyslexia

    Lovely pannel! Font might not be my cup of tea but it’s a great looking setup!

      I don’t know about the comic font, but OpenDyslexic is a great typeface for dyslexics (as the name would suggest). It mostly has to do with the weight of the letters being towards the bottom as I understand it. I personally (dyslexic here) have gotten so used to Computer Modern Serif and JetBrainsMono that they’re easier for me to read, but that comes from hours of monkeytype with JetBrainsMono and hours of reading books and PDFs with Computer Modern. I think OpenDyslexic, while cool, is probably only truly helpful for people not already used to a different typeface.

        I read some of the studies on this and i would say that the evidence is shaky at best. People seem to have an easier time reading texts using fonts that they are used to.

          Yep, this is exactly what I read… still a cool project though. Anything that at least tries to make neurodivergent people more accepted gets my approval.
