On behalf of the Polish dyslexic ;-)
I think it would be a good idea to submit the font to Google Webfonts - http://www.google.com/webfonts
Hopefully, that would allow it to be used by many more people and projects.

I have installed the OpenDyslexicMono-Regular.otf in the proper location and updated the cache.. It does not recognize this file but other openDyslexic fonts work fine.
thank you very much.. your work has helped me a great deal!
Good Afternoon!
I am a tutor, and I found information about your amazing font from a friend. I currently have a dyslexic student, and I am thrilled to be able to use your font for most the student's work. I was wondering if it would be possible to create math characters in OpenDyslexic? My student is currently working on algebra, but eventually will be taking geometry, trigonometry, calculous, etc.
I think it would be incredibly beneficial for my student, as well as others with dyslexia, for there to be a way to read mathematics without struggle. Would you please consider adding math symbols to your font?
Thank you!
There appears to be a setting in the font (as in some Asian typefaces) that restricts setting point size in menus and other Windows display features to 24. This is much too large for some of the items, such as the Icon Title or Message Box.
Can please introduce Maltese and french font in open-dyslexic? Thanks!
when you type "fi" the spacing suddenly changes and is off.
could this also be the reason that konsole doesnt accept the font?
(i selected it forcefulling using a hack, and it seems to be working, except when you type "fi" )
J is difficult to see next to a 1 or I, at a smaller font size.

You can now do homebrew cask install font-opendyslexic
- would be cool to see this added to the "Linux" section on http://opendyslexic.org/download/ under a "Homebrew" section.
Anyone can help?
Create a special font version to replace Yosemite's System Font. You just have to export it with the PostScript Name ".HelveticaNeueDeskInterface-Regular". For more details look here:

Hi,
I'am fan of somewhat lighter fonts. For me the open-dyslexic font is a bit to bold to use for normal text.

The debian package is very out of date. I'm leaving a note here and I'll take a pass at getting a more recent release packaged for Debian.
I'm not entirely clear what the process is given that the latest debian is in a freeze before becoming the stable release. But I will find out!
I've had a request to implement this for a plugin in a platform I look after, but I'm a little concerned about doing that in a cross-browser fashion. I know you're trying to get it implemented through Google Web Fonts but I'm personally not interested in using their solution for a variety of reasons I'd prefer not to get into.
Would it be possible to generate alternative formats? (Or, failing that, information on how I could possibly do so myself?)
TTF and OTF are great for general use but for cross-browser support, we potentially need to provide Embedded OpenType (eot), Web Online Font Format (woff), TTF and SVG font information.
I fully understand if it is not in your intention to support this, but if you could help in this, I'd really appreciate it. I'd also be willing to contribute to your time and effort in doing so if that would be helpful.
"The Unified Font Object (UFO) is a cross-platform, cross-application, human readable, future proof format for storing font data."
Glyphs(I'm pretty certain) and other font editors can work natively with UFO. It only makes sense to switch the sources to UFO for better development.
Is there any reson you didn't chose SIL Open Font License for your project? I am just curious.
It works so much better. Suggested by Tanguy Ortolo. irc://irc.oftc.net/Tanguy
Hi,
For several OS, it is important to have version numbers in order to track the evolution of the font. For example, this is useful when you release a new version, contributors and users can know if they are up-to-date or not.
The best is to release a archive named like this: open-dyslexic-1.0.zip
I don't know if Dafont supports that but you can put them on a simple web server.
Thanks.
I love OpenDyslexic and would like to use it for code, but the bolded mono is wider than the normal mono font. So syntax highlighting that uses bolding makes the text not line up any more 😞

Can't remember if this is fixed in the beta, will have too look at this and check the spacing/kerning.
It appears that the fonts in the OpenDyslexic-Regular.otf and OpenDyslexic-Italic.otf files are actually the BOLD fonts.
As far as I could see on the opendyslexic.org site and on the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDyslexic , there aren't any links to experimental evidence confirming the advantage of this font compared to a traditional font like Vera Sans.
This might be a decent PhD for someone. This project should reach out to academic institutions and propose it as a project.

Is it possible to get the built fonts updated for the last few changes to the repo?
I'd do it myself and submit a pull request, but it's something I'm not familiar with. Maybe some rough instructions (what tool? fontforge?) could be added too? :)
Thanks!

Hi, I love your font!
I saw you on hackernews today and I've noticed a number of comments there and around the web looking for a monospaced version of your font. Notably, someone offering to pay for the privilege. I thought I would open an issue to gauge your interest, and let others chime in.
...to help differentiate letters like n/h, i/j...
Font looks choppy and pixelated on windows XP machines, and Chrome on windows. This is because of both using an older font render that doesn't work well and using pixel-hammering.
Update kerning on bold font. Increase space between characters.
p and q look too much alike. look into making some additional changes to the q.
suggestion:
add a hook to the q.
I am experimenting a folder structure for open source typefaces.
You can see it in action here: https://github.com/raphaelbastide/Avara
There is some some details such as a FONTINFO.json, a /documentation folder and a design-guide.txt you can be interested in. Let me know if you want me to apply this structure to your project.

ie: rounded a, etc. For elementary school students, or those that prefer letters such as the rounded a.

I get perfect results when viewing with a Linux PDF viewer (evince) but Acroread shows this:
but only if I am using the OpenType (.otf) fonts. If I switch to the TrueType versions, it looks perfect in evince and Acroread.
I've not seen this problem using some of the other OTF and TTF typefaces on my system, only OpenDyslexic's OTF version.
This occurred with the OTF font files distributed with the Ubuntu packages, but I've uninstalled those and got the same behaviour using the current github versions of the font files.

I started to do this, but suspect that it would be better for Abbie or another contributor to do so. Here are the form fields that need to be included when submitting a new font to Google Fonts:

I am sure, many people in our country (Czech + Slovakia) would like to use this typeface/font when it will be supporting Latin Extended characters.
Thank you
In general I am loving using this font. Have no issues with reading using with it. but when writing sometimes I see the lower 'l' and think I have written an upper case one. Side by side they are obviously different but by it self the lower l looks like it could be upper case.
It could just be that I am not familiar with the font, but it may be possible to differentiate a bit.
GumRoad is great...but it's not automation-friendly. At all.

Received email: downloaded it, and IE9 gives me this message:
CSS3114: @font-face failed OpenType embedding permission check. Permission must be Installable.

Need to find permission setting causing this and set it to allow all.
Hello. I was looking at your page after being led to it by a link. I see a reference to a book, Little Read Riding Hood. This should beLittle Red Riding Hood, unless the misspelling was deliberate for some reason.
French accents don't look like they all have weight at the bottom, as they should.

Everything is ok except when i write fi or fl, they get combined into single character space. This is not ok, because then some parts of the code are not trully mono and when friend opens them in other editor, he gets some parts differently aligned/spaced than me.
I tried ttf then later otf, same problem.
Nice fonts by the way, the do help.
