Dyslexia Font Tileset
« on: September 07, 2019, 11:12:42 pm »

So I recently learned that there is a special font to increase readability, especially for people with dyslexia. We already have color schemes for color-blind people; why not a text font for people that have trouble reading the tiny Df menus.

I used https://www.dafont.com/open-dyslexic.font as a basis. Apparently they use all kinds of nifty tricks to make it more readable; from thicker bottoms, unique glyphs, kerning, etc.

Tileset, 12x20:

Maybe someone can make use of it,
Cheers,

The anti-aliasing undoes any benefit granted by the letter shapes. It needs to be much crisper to actually improve readability.
