I have tutored and co-authored with dyslexics, and I’m thrilled at the idea that such simple changes could render their disability a non-issue.  It’s like reading glasses- without this technology, I’m profoundly disabled, but with the appropriate correction in place, I’m fine. I’m going to forward this font round to all my dyslexic friends!
