The Bitstream license was too restrictive, and my attempts at clarifying what was allowed (pretty much anything) just confused everything even more. I should have also done it from the start.
Also.... <sub>easier to correct some mistakes when starting from scratch.</sub>
## Styles
OpenDyslexic, in Regular, Bold, Italic, and BoldItalic. Also, OpenDyslexic Mono, and OpenDyslexic Rounded: intentionally lower contrast.
## Features?
* Not Comic Sans (J/K I like Comic Sans)
* OpenDyslexic aims to use unique letter shapes to make recognizing text easier.
* Longer ascenders and descenders to better distinguish caps, lowercase, and similar lowercase letters.
* Bolder bottoms of letters to communicate orientation, and better help differentiate between letters like pqdb. Similar to having an underlined _6_ so the similar looking 6 and 9 can be told apart in a game.
* Bolder punctuation shows more clearly.
* Wider spacing for easier tracking.
* Lower contrast design to help with glare/blindness: the occasional blank paper with text on it.
Open-Dyslexic submissions were messy because they mostly came in compiled typeface files, creating a lot of work in comparing files, properly pulling them from the compiled typeface and moving them over to the app native source being used.
As such, submissions are accepted as long as:
* it's provided as a pull request against the typeface source
* it's submitted as an SVG document

KISS. If you put it on a CDN to share, let me know, and I can include links.
If you need a form for your school or business, create a support request (support.abbiecod.es) and please be patient. 🤞🏼 You can speed up turn around time by asking for the information you need for the form separately, or pre-filling the parts you know.
