A dyslexic font would allow more Scratchers to use Scratch. I am not dyslexic, but I know a lot about dyslexia. This feature would be included in settings and the paint editor. This feature may be available only for select languages, but it would still help many Scratchers and expand our community.
Here's an image found by @fdreerf :

Can you show a picture of the dyslexic font so people who don't know about it can get an idea of what it looks like?

Personally, I am mildly dyslexic, and I think this would be a great new feature for the website. Especially for school, we want kids(and teens and adults, of course) to be able to experience Scratch the in the best way.

If you look up “Dyslexic font” on google, you can find some examples. I looked at them, and I think they'd be a good alternative for really anyone who has trouble reading.

Sadly, my parents don't let me search even with SafeSearch on.

This is what a dyslexic font looks like.

Support.

I am Dyslexic, And I struggled slightly with reading. If I had this it would have helped me a lot, And I could have been better with reading. If we were to have this feature, It could help people with Dyslexia.

I do not have Dyslexia and I find that font much easier to read. It'd be nice if it could be set site wide, too. Which wouldn't be too hard to do since Scratch uses a weird mix of both client side and server side rendering.

So said font adds a bit more boldness to the bottom half of characters?

Oh well, support. Good for accessibility. Add other font options, too!

woah what

I support, it would be good for people with Dyslexia.

Support. Scratch's design principles include

Many math and science activities have traditionally been biased towards specific populations. By paying special attention to creating accessible and appealing technologies, we are working to close the gap.

I support, but it would be kind of disturbing to be like that all of the time. If there was a button to change the font, I would be perfectly fine with that.
I support !

I think the poster meant that this font isn't on by default, but you can turn on the font in the settings. (or something like that anyway)

Also, Semi-support, as how often do people even look in the settings? I myself am not dyslexic so I don't if this will or won't help, but it seems this would be helpful to some people.

Support. Just why not? No-one's going to complain.

Support.

I don't have dyslexia, but I do know people who do, and this would help them a bunch.

Also, it does look like a pretty cool font as well
