#opendyslexic — Public Fediverse posts

Does anyone happen to know if there's an easy way to get #emacs's nov.el package to display text using the #OpenDyslexic font? I was hoping there was a customization variable, but it seems not.

Perhaps I could run it in a terminal editor and change the terminal's font, but then I'd lose things like images.

I can hack something together if I really need to, I'd just rather not if there's a simpler solution available.

Edit: I was able to do this through M-x customize-face

made accessible so blind and dyslexic people can scromit with us I would never gatekeep scromiting based off of one's abilities

2 part thread because all y'all need to see this and share it and scromit.

Since I'm here I wanna get right into contributing to the community so here are some distro's I made like yesterday:

There's 2 more images but I guess I'll just reply with them.

Ever since I saw @klemensstrasser have support for the OpenDyslexic font in @studysnacksapp I’ve been meaning to do the same.

I was really worried about breaking the layout of some Views.

Seeing @hidde do it made me decide to just start.

Making good progress!

The creator of the accessibility-focused #font #OpenDyslexic
has moved the font to Itch.io following discoveries of pro-Nazi content being unquestioningly hosted on its original host, Gumroad.

I am not... dyslexic. I mean, when I was a kid I'd have trouble telling POTS and STOP apart... but I have no diagnosis. Still, the #OpenDyslexic font feels a lot... roomier for reading

Oh! It works! My Sony PRS-300 displays the converted epub of "A Voyage To Arcturus" with the embedded OpenDyslexic font. Don't need the font adjusted to the "normal larger baseline" I normally do with other fonts when using #OpenDyslexic, so I need to fine-tune that now...
I have the PRS+ rom on it. Here are some screenshots of two font sizes of OpenDyslexic displaying on it.

My "#speedReading" basically brings me up to "normal fast" since I'm a slow reader. I am considering seeing if I can get #Calibre to embed the #OpenDyslexic #font since that also improves reading speeds...

#AiutoSegreto (scusate, dato che quello per la cuginetta 14enne è andato molto bene ne approfitto!)

Cuginetto di 10 anni con #dislessia (già seguito da qualche anno da logopedista) che inizierà a usare un computer portatile.

Oltre ai #font creati appositamente per rendere il testo meglio leggibile (#OpenDyslexic per citarne uno), ci sono accorgimenti particolari da seguire per rendere migliore il suo approccio a questo tipo di tecnologia?

Giochi fatti bene?

Esercizi per la tastiera?

Grazie!

Man lernt nie aus. Es existiert eine wissenschaftlich evaluierte Schriftart namens #OpenDyslexic, die Menschen mit #Legasthenie das Lesen erleichtern kann. Zumindest funktioniert das im Englischen. https://opendyslexic.org/

#OpenDyslexic is a font that may help you read more easily, if letters do not behave for you, or if attention wanders. People I know with those challenges, love it. The site accepts donations.

I did not know kindle had #opendyslexic font!

Жду не дождусь, чтобы выпустили шрифт #LexiaD. Это кириллический шрифт с фокусом на скорости обработки текста. Я бы потестил.

Он очень напоминает мне латинский шрифт #OpenDyslexic в дизайне букв, который я успешно использую в нескольких программах, чтобы вскользь ловить поступающую информацию - особенно сообщения в чате. Первичная фиксация далась не просто, но как привык, так чтение пошло очень быстро.

По ЛексияД я лишь могу найти несколько бумаг и видео: https://vimeo.com/772730541 :blobcatbusiness: Рекомендую посмотреть, если вам интересно как исследования проводятся и что намекает на положительные результаты замены шрифтов на LexiaD для людей с дислексией и без.

Когда пересматриваю, очень уж ЛексияД напоминает мне Comic Sans: и расстоянием между буквами, и предсказуемостью. Жаль только, что когда начинаешь чуточку размывать или уменьшать, теряется эта читаемость, чего я не испытываю с OD. На последней картинке привожу сравнение Лексии и ОД, чтобы вы увидели разницу. @rf

I've published a guide on how to set up OpenDyslexic font in @Minetest! :rickhey:

#OpenDyslexic gives off the playfulness and an intent to make reading easy for various people, including dyslectics.

Very pleased to see support for the #OpenDyslexic and #HyperLegible typefaces in the latest #IceCubes client. Hurrah! #Accessibility

@jimmygolitely there's also #OpenDyslexic: https://opendyslexic.org/ which doesn't come with a price tag.

Pinned #introduction.

I'm a #hispanic (Puerto Rico 🇵🇷) dev in C# and full stack web development (and other languages). I created & maintain #OpenDyslexic, a #typeface to help w/ readability used by companies & people globally.

I have other projects at https://abbiecod.es

I keep a windows computer in my iMac G3 case.

Past hobby projects include e-ink info displays w/ my kids, & a PowerBook G3 powered by a #RaspberryPi

Currently, I maintain OpenDyslexic and am building a #Mastodon client.

Thanks to @Fawn for educating me on the existence of fonts that help with #dyslexia

Researching this pointed me towards the #OpenDyslexic project: https://opendyslexic.org/about

An open and free #font for everyone to use if you need help with readability.

@juliu I would give extra point for including some #dyslexia-friendly font: #OpenDyslexic is one open source font that I found rather peculiar and inspired! 👁️ https://opendyslexic.org/
