Gregory's Servernice idea. However, studies have shown that OpenDyslexic [1] and other "dyslexia" fonts [2] do not really have an impact on the reading success of people with dyslexia. In some comparisons, these fonts even perform poorly. [1] (however, it is true that some fonts are better than others, i.e. Arial is better than Times New Romen [3]).

@antontartz oh thank God.
I ~do~ have dyslexia and I have never found that those fonts make a difference. Plus, I hate the childish look of OpenDyslexic. It feels condescending.
It doesn't address the way dyslexia affects me at all. My dyslexic brain views information as "buckets". Each word is a bucket in which letters go. Imagine the letter tiles from a Scrabble game, and grabbing all the letter tiles for the word giraffe. Now put those tiles into a bag. That bag is now the word/concept of giraffe.
All the posts about rearranging all the letters inside a word but leaving the first and last in their correct places? I have no problem with that.
Dyslexia happens in the brain, not on the page. Which is why, when I'm tired, I'll type p instead of d even though they aren't near each other on the keyboard.
Discalcula is a bitch too, but that won't be solved with a font.
