the OpenDyslexic and Dyslexie, and others, to my personal computer and campus computers. What I found for my personal use, these “dyslexic fonts” and others just weren’t any more helpful than any others with a little more line spacing, spacing/kerning than
normal. My favorite has become Verdana. On my campus computers, the fonts are still there for any students to use, but my students hated them and resorted back to Arial, Helvetica, Calibri, or Verdana.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
