Font Eases Reading for People with Dyslexia

I love when people share resources! I just got an email from a colleague with a link to a website of fonts to download (thanks, Ruth!). The font is called Open-Dyslexic, and here's what the author wrote about it:

Font created to help dyslexic readers. Bottom heavy and unique character shapes help make it more difficult to confuse letters.

OpenDyslexic(open-dyslexic) by Abelardo Gonzalez is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.

This means, as long as you visibly give credit, you can use this on your ebook, ebook reader, actual physical books, web sites, etc.

Included are 3 styles of OpenDyslexic: OpenDyslexic, OpenDyslexic w/ alt rounded a's, and OpenDyslexicMono: for your fixed-width font needs.

Check out the fonts; there's a link to download them for free, with an opportunity to donate to the author. The website is http://www.dafont.com/open-dyslexic.font

If you put 'braille' in the search field on this website, you'll see that there are some braille fonts, as well, free for personal use.
