Having a son and a brother who are profoundly dyslexic, I wonder if we should be producing books specially formatted for those with reading difficulties. I believe that using block formatting and choosing
the right fonts make it easier for dyslexics to enjoy our publications.
Verdana and Geneva are fonts that have been identified as the easiest to read from the thousands of fonts freely available on the web. Interestingly enough, Comic Sans is often chosen by dylexics as the easiest to read. And, given that my son was taught to read and write cursive at an early age to help overcome his reading problems, I wonder if a cursive script might not be the best choice for those who suffer the most.
So, the question of the day is, should there be a website for e-books available by Font?
