Can't we design a font specifically for dyslexics without resorting to an ugly one that accidentally works, and that fixes b and d also?


There have been a few (OpenDyslexic, Dyslexie, and others). However, to my knowledge no significant improvement has been shown over other, more common sans-serif fonts, despite several studies having been conducted.


Sure. You'll just need to differentiate [i, j, I, l , 1], [o, O, 0, Q, G], [a, e], [E, 3], [S, 2, 5, Z], [A, 4, h], [B, 8], [L, 7, J], [6, 9, , [R, P, d, b, p, q, g, y] , [M, m, w, v, u, n, W, V], [X, x, k, K].
