Places I've officially uploaded the latest stable versions to are [dafont.com](h
ttp://dafont.com/open-dyslexic.font) and gumroad(see link at [opendyslexic.org](

ion, check [github](https://github.com/antijingoist/open-dyslexic/tags) for the
latest stable or working beta including otf's and ttf's, or [DaFont](http://dafo
nt.com/open-dyslexic.font) for a stable otf.
If you are upgrading your copy of this font, you may want to remove previous ver
sion first.
Typeface/font to help readability, and help readability for some of the symptoms
of dyslexia.
Your brain can sometimes do funny things to letters. OpenDyslexic tries to help
prevent some of these things from happening. Letters have heavy weighted bottoms
to provide an indication of orientation to make it more difficult to confuse wi
th other similar letters. Consistently weighted bottoms can also help reenforce
the line of text. The unique shapes of each letter can help prevent flipping and
swapping.
The italic style for OpenDyslexic has been crafted still be able to be used for
emphasis while still being readable.

It is based on Bitstream Vera Sans because of the nice license it has.
OpenDyslexic is not packaged by me as an .exe file. It is packaged as a zip file
, with no installer, so you know what you are getting.
If you were compelled to pay for this font, ask for a refund. This font is provi
ded at no charge. Donations are cool, but optional. :)
