explore idea of using different fonts good for people with dyslexia

[tracykteal]

@snim2 and Nathan Moore discussed the idea of dylexia-friendly fonts on the Software Carpentry discuss list

Nathan asks: " Is a font like http://opendyslexic.org/ a good idea to have as a rendering option for the carpentry materials/tutorials? Is Jekyll capable of multiple fonts in response to a button click, toggle, etc?"

It would be good to consider if there are different fonts that would be better, and if we can get them to render with Jekyll.

discussed the idea of dylexia-friendly fonts

I'm in favour of it as well the use of friendly colours and contrast. Unfortunately my knowledge on this area is zero. :-(

Is a font like http://opendyslexic.org/ a good idea to have as a rendering option for the carpentry materials/tutorials?

I'm against having a button toggle. CSS allow us to "specify a prioritized list of font family names and/or generic family names for the selected element" (Mozilla Developer Network) and we should implement our solution using it.

Is Jekyll capable of multiple fonts in response to a button click, toggle, etc?

As far as I know, no. But it didn't block the use of font-family as mention before.
