BBC: OpenDyslexic font gains ground with help of Instapaper

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19734341

"The font has also been built into a word processor, an ebook reader and has been installed on school computers."

I'm not dyslexic but I'm wondering what the community's thoughts are.

I am dyslexic and I kind of love that font. I actually don't care for it *aesthetically* but it does do something to keep my eyes moving straight down the letter/word and not twisting them up. How wild! After almost 30 years of trying every trick or tip that's come out (I still prefer to read books through a blue filter if I can get ahold of one... I keep losing mine), I've never seen that before. I think it's awesome. :)
