From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What fonts are the most common on Linux today? (reddthat.com)

For a long time, I’ve just put on DejaVu fonts and been done with it. Generally good enough Unicode coverage for me. But I know it’s been years since DejaVu’s been updated, and I wonder what’s very common today.

[As for the terminal, I’m guessing it’s usually still the standard fixed Unicode fonts?]

Ok, I think I need to google that one, not that I have dislexia, just out of curiosity.

It's a font designed to ease letter recognition.

It can be useful for people who don't have dislexia too, for example for subtitles.

How do you like Atkinson Hyperlegible?? I've heard good things about it from visually impaired people, but I'm not clear on how much it helps with dyslexia.
