Any chance of getting a dyslexia button

Hi any chance of getting a Dyslexia button to change the font to a Dyslexic friendly one?

[miniman]

What's a dyslexia friendly font? (Genuinely interested!)

That's quite interesting.

Or you could use a spell checker within a browser, such as google chrome...

[SplatSpeed]

it changes the font!

Can't you change the default font in your browser? ISTR this is possible.

I'll take a look...

Nice gut reaction there, bigot.

If you take one moment to read the article, the font is designed so that a dyslexic can actually read the text more easily.

I genuinely wasn't being a dick, and I did read the article, but why would you need to implement the new font when you can just right click on the words with red lines under them?

Apologies for bad tempered post.

It ight be helpful because dyslexia doesn't just affect writing - the font is designed to stop the letters shuffling about when you are reading them, thus making it less difficult.

Are you trying to come across as an idiot?

It's to assist with READING.

It might be because the button's not obvious... or I use the wrong websites... but do you know of any/many websites which offer this feature? I would have thought that the browser would be a much better place to implement it? (In case different people prefer different fonts, they could customise to their tastes?)

Oi you lot. English professors or otherwise.

Not in here, ok? This isn't the place nor the thread.

If you use chrome as your browser you can download an opendyslexic app.
