I believe there’s a kerning issue in the newer versions. My wife uses Open Dyslexic in slack using the unsupported /slackfont OpenDyslexic command
But we just installed the updated version 3 on a new laptop and the kerning is huge. Massive spacing between letters and words
I’ve tested a few times on my personal PC, same issue and found that the issue isn’t there using OpenDyslexic v2
So, yes, the wider character spacing was intentional, but it does need work (and the kerning too). There’s also ligatures that need to be fixed too.
The actual intention is some wider spacing, and larger amounts after symbols like commas, periods, etc. Context also needs to be added so it adds the extra space appropriately: not having something like C.A.K.E. have significant spacing, but adding the extra spacing at the end of a sentence.
I definitely think that the increased spacing between the letters and the massive spacing between the words is distracting. The spacing makes it so the next closest word is sometimes below it rather than next to it. Ever since the new version rolled out on nook I’ve been unable to read using it without getting frustrated with where my eyes end up looking at.
