I just turned it on and it makes reading so much easier. Must show this to my friend who is worse than me

Great to hear!  :thumbsup:

I've made some further tweaks so the font is used in the editor and wherever the full text of posts is shown.

I Just tried this font, and I think it is good, it kind of concentrates the eye on the bottom so theres less
jumping about and miss reading.

Thanks, that's good to hear.

I was on  http://www.dystalk.com/forum/dyslexia
the other day as my son has just been diagnosed too, and he's bilingual yikes, There was some information that was both written down and then a video with someone dictating, I thought it was genius, but possibly a step to far for your project I think Its a great idea well done.

Windows 7 and Mac OS X both come with basic text-to-speech utilities now - Narrator and VoiceOver respectively - so many people will have access to some basic narration. But yes, providing recorded speech of all content is beyond us!
