Relationship to DejaVu Sans

I can't find any relationship between OpenDyslexic and DejaVu Sans besides the one shared on Wikipedia by one user and copied to elsewhere around the web, initially as it resembles DejaVu Sans, and then later that it was modeled after DejaVu Sans. A web search for `"OpenDyslexic" "DejaVu Sans"` from before these edits reveals no sources other than a font lists.

OpenDyslexic's official website has an FAQ page about it's relationship to other fonts and instead says it was based off of BitStream Vera Sans. OpenDyslexic FAQ OpenDyslexic FAQ - Web Archive (April 2016). I am not sure if the citation for DejaVu Sans can be made as it seems incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:802:2000:1:0:0:0:245A (talk) 18:42, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't about speed

Are there any studies about comprehension? All of the information cited here so far relates to speed. But there is more to reading than just speed. Hires an editor (talk) 18:46, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's mainly about preventing the confusion of similar (in the geometric sense) characters. Also, whether the font helps depends on the specific type of dyslexia, as discussed here at the end of the section, a point which these studies also neglected. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 01:39, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the opensourceness of the font

I don't know if it is enough for a citation, but open dyslexic themself say their font is under sil-ofl which the open source initiative think is an open source lisence. Heartbrrrrr (talk) 10:22, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How to use OpenDyslexic on WP?

What should I do to use OpenDyslexic on WP? Is there a standard piece of CSS available that calls the font? Uwappa (talk) 02:43, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
