When i have time I’m gonna look into this more. Myself and many others have printed books in OpenDyslexic without issues. :D

Check if the file is blocked by windows. Sometimes windows will mark a downloaded file as “blocked” and will just ignore trying to open it.

Right click the file and select properties. It will say the file is blocked towards the bottom and allow you to unblock

Extract the files in the download

Double click the file that ends in “exe”

I’m not sure I understand your question, but after extracting, on windows double-click the file that ends in exe, and on macOS doubleclick the application

I am so glad you found the solution! And I’m glad you posted a comment. :) I’ve gotten many comments on the side about the game, in person or as private messages, but very few comment on it publicly.

“I hope that helps.” :D

You can use the free OpenDyslexic app to install OpenDyslexic on iOS.

Installing fonts on the iPhone is done differently than on most other platforms. Instead of opening a font to install, Apple requires a provider of a font to create an App that installs the font. Removing the app also removes the font.

On Android, there is no method for installing fonts, but many apps have their own individual methods of recognizing a font they can use.

thanks! I’m really curious about that.

That is really odd.

The proof pdf might be low quality from most providers, but text should still be sharp. It sounds like at some step, BookWrite or Blurb is rasterizing the pages and rendering as images?

Embedding the font should just embed the actual font, and not have the pdf rendered in this way.

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing!

Unfortunately, I no longer have Microsoft Word, and cannot troubleshoot it. I have seen that happen with other fonts in Word in the past, but never had the opportunity to track it down.

There are no OpenType features that would change the font sizes (at least not in OpenDyslexic), and I can’t think of any reason the font itself would do this.

I’m glad Bookwright shows it correctly, and I’m glad you were able to find a work-around. I wish I could have a better solution outside of recommending a different word processor like Pages, LibreOffice, etc.

Hi Leslie,

the guide mstewart14 provides basically how you would do this.

but also, what ebook app are you using? many have different ways of getting new fonts included in a selection list.

i just added a zip containing the game exe instead of having only an installer available. No updates to the actual game.

don’t take this the wrong way, but you could have added information in your original comment that would have saved time.

• Virus scanner that reported the positive
• Any effort you made to see if it was a false positive (scanning with Defender or another product, sending it to McAfee for verification, etc.)

Checking with VirusTotal, and McAfee does not flag this as suspicious.

However, this game was made in ClickTeam Fusion, and ClickTeam does trigger false positives. For example, this thread about Mr TomatoS.

It could also be with how I compressed it way back when I uploaded it Preventing False Positives, ClickFusion Academy.

For the antivirus vendors that did flag this, it seemed to indicate concern about modifying a desktop.ini. This file controls seeing a folder in a list, thumbnails, icons, etc, but also can be used to have a custom icon for an application. Depending on how ClickTeam compiles the game, it’s possible it’s using desktop.ini for the game’s icon.

I’ll upload the game’s actual exe without the setup to make things easier in the future.

probably confusing the game with CoPilot lol

How on earth did you reach that conclusion?

there is nothing in OpenDyslexic that uses Java. You should be able to just download the font files, double click them, and select install on the dialog that appears.

It would look something like this

Best demo ending ever! :)

This game is absolutely next level. The consistent art and the gut wrenching story, plus the extra pdfs?!? I love it.

I thought i fixed that but apparently I didn’t! It may also be i uploaded an old version.

I’m sick at the moment, but should be able to update it by next week.

Thank you for the heads up!

Hi!

After installing OpenDyslexic, open the app and tap the button to install the fonts.

Try using it in an application with a font selection after (pages, numbers are good to test with because they do not hide the font choices). If it does not appear, you may need to ensure the app is closed before opening it again.

Not every app uses Apple’s method for checking available fonts. Some still have it hard-coded from years ago. The ones that use the proper methods will show OpenDyslexic in the font menus after install.

The art in this game is kickass, I loved it so much. The portraits especially – i can’t get over them. I also liked how smoking would give me a different melancholic memory and interpretation (i still have to play it again to get the rest of the scenes).

I just started playing it, but I love this so much so far.

The art and the music are awesome, but i also love the details like how the text contrasts on the paper-like dialog, and the impeccable color scheme.

Having a glossary is also awesome esp for someone like me :D

I fixed it so it should be more obvious it’s intentional, and the missing areas should be accessible now.

I didn’t push myself i promise, but I used some time I was feeling better to make fixes and uploaded it.

I also made a visual timeline of where everything should fit: https://visualdos.com/timeline/

The loop is intentional, but it should have been obvious the loop was intentional. Now there should be extra accessible content, and the loop where selecting the scrapbook causing the scrapbook to be infinite should be fixed too.

I fixed the variables I’m certain. I wanted to make sure i did something when the brain fog lifted. :D There’s content I’m pretty sure was missing for everyone that should now be accessible. And I’m going back to bed LOL

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it

I posted an update, i was slower making the fixes, wanted to make sure I did it right lol.

depending on perspective, a more complete one is Visual DOS 2024 Tech Preview, because it contains some of this in it.

But this was the story i wanted to tell for this one, and tech preview is the story i wanted to tell for that one. I don’t know if Ill expand on this, except that in fixing the bugs the story is a bit longer and less confusing (I hope). I might change my mind when I’m feeling better. :)

the loop is intentional. there may be loop bits missing bc i missnamed a variable. or two. or three. (like, you would have known the loop was intentional if i named the variabes right) 😬 thankk you for the well wishes.

I’ll try 😁

Tech preview operates properly and has much of the story inside it if you wanna do that instead of waiting

im gonna try to get some sleepwwhile no one needs me 😊

This means a lot right now. I apparently started getting sick when working on it, and theres errors in logic in the behind the scenes that I now know are there (and will fix when i get better).

Knowing the message got through regardless just made my day so much easier to handle.

Thanks.

part of it might be, I’ve been sick with covid.

And reviewing the code I realized a lot of variables are misspelled in the silliest ways.

I’m slowly working on fixing those problems, but the brain fog can be bad and I don’t want to fight through it and release more misspelled variables and bad logic.

The art on this is adorable, I love it :)

I was a little skeptical but this worked really, really well. And the story is hilarious so far. This game is perfect, I love it!

I’m very glad you do!

^_^

Hi,

You can download it by clicking “Download Now” on the project page (https://antijingoist.itch.io/opendyslexic).

You can download the zip file, double click it to open it, and double click each font file to install it on Windows 10.

The visual novel was great. I had difficulties reading the text on some pages of the making of pdf, but it’s overall great also, and I loved having the additional context

I don’t think paypal likes me very much, but recently If I’m understanding correctly, paypal doesn’t like itchio very much either.

I appreciate your attempts to donate very much, and it’s all very helpful. But if you’re having issues, please know that OpenDyslexic is free, and you are absolutely able to use it as needed, donation or not.

Sweet! I’ll give that a try.

I’ll try it first on Tech Preview: its an OS running under an emulator, and the emulator is prevented from regaining focus entirely on some platforms. There’s no save (yet) because i haven’t finished the file system, so losing focus can be pretty catastrophic.

I also have the interpreter in tech preview written better so it supports a dynamic man command, and also the /?to get help, and a help commands command to list all available commands.

Hi!

The bills have been paid, and OpenDyslexic can be downloaded on iOS again.
