Comment on Gill Dyslexic — a $2 dyslexic font based on the work behind Dyslexie

Comments

Anyone else think that Dyslexie was easier to read?

I did find it easier to read... but I really wonder how much of the effect comes from the size of the sample text. It's huge!

The scaled down version is a little harder to read: http://imgur.com/Xh3Mt. (ctrl + mousewheel to resize the image on the page direct)... and here again, I'm not sure how much of the difficulty to read the smaller version comes because of quality lost from scaling.

It would be nice to see a screen-shot the font as it is rendered in a smaller typeface.
