WAT? Inline styles are always a poor development practice (one that I'm kinda guilty of... dang it).

You are supposed to separate the design from the structure from any logic.

both to increase contrast and figure out where the heck I am. But I also have a safari extension that shades alternate paragraphs as I read them , so I do it much less often now.

Thats the theory behind "Dyslexic Notation." You can try it if you'd like: https://github.com/antijingoist/AlphaSymbolic

FWIW, I think your thoughts are more of a reality than just your opinion. Thanks for saying it better than I can. Even in these comments, there are people that love it, and people that can't use it.

There are also many forms of dyslexia. Some are related to letter shapes. Some involve glare, etc. etc. etc. No one solution will help everyone. That is why there are color filters, lenses, rainbow'd lines of text, fonts like these, etc.

In the emails I've gotten the past few days, and since I've started this project, there are people who insist their life has changed, people who just like reading with it, and people who are bothered by it. It's just the nature of things.

edit: spellings and such.

Regular user of Instapaper. :) As soon as I got an email about it, I upgraded Instapaper to check it out. Made my day. :D

Thanks for the kind words. :)

Oddly enough, it shows up less bold on a non-windows machine.

Eulexia is an SIL-OFL one that is thinner too. But I haven't worked on the windows font smoothing with that one yet. :-/

There are several versions of the font available, and the newest on github and dafont have some of those issues fixed.

There are Windows specific issues, and those are being worked on.

Thanks! Just saw that!

If you guys are serious, someone opened an issue on github and I replied there.

The positive response really lifts the spirits. :D
