Here’s another interesting article about dyslexia and fonts. I’m surprised at how difficult it is to find concrete information about dyslexia on the web. It seems that some scripts and fonts are easier than others for dyslexics – such a problem is easily addressed with software, and easily applied to online sources.
These are the potential problems that I’ve gathered so far:
1. Similar shaped letters, especially those that differ in orientation e.g. p, q, b, dPosted by David Boxenhorn at June 25, 2004 05:55 PM2. Non-phonetic spelling
3. Long words (short-term memory problem)
4. Non-phonemic graphs
5. Writing Direction (left-right, right-left)
