Contrary to some assumptions, according to a study the special typeface “Dyslexie” does not statistically help people with dyslexia when reading. Youki Terada writes in »Do Dyslexia Fonts Actually Work?« for edutopia.org In a separate 2018 study, researchers compared another popular dyslexia font—Dyslexie, which charges a fee for usage—with Arial and Times New Roman and found no benefit to reading accuracy and speed.

LWN writes in “Interview with Richard M. Stallman |”: Proprietary software is antisocial, so developing it is wrong. In most cases, the user of proprietary software is expected to promise not to share with anyone else.
