Who have we helped?
โ€ข Jon has dyslexia and finds certain text styles or fonts difficult to
read, particularly a styles with serifs such as Times New Roman, or
โ€˜clutteredโ€™ scripts such as Helvetica Narrow.
โ€ข He finds a sans-serif style like Arial or Verdana much more user
friendly.
โ€ข MCMW showed him how to change fonts on his computer and in his
web browser.
โ€ข Now reading text is much easier and less tiring.
โ€ข He can also make the text easier to read by displaying it on a
coloured background and changing the font size.

Changing the text size
13
โ€ข As far as she knows Enid hasnโ€™t got a disability as
such but she has noticed changes in her eyesight
which causes a lot of dazzle from the screen and
makes reading text difficult and tiring.
โ€ข Changing the text size by just a little bit means that
she can continue to shop online!

Changing the text size
โ€ข Donโ€™t be scared to experiment with changing the text size.
โ€ข If itโ€™s too small then enlarge it, and then if it ends up being too big
then you can always reduce it.
โ€ข Decide if you want to make universal settings or just change the
settings in particular pieces of software.
โ€ข If you decide to make changes, do them one by one. This way, if
you make a change that you donโ€™t like you can easily โ€œstep backโ€.
โ€ข Making wholesale changes makes it far harder to go back if they
arenโ€™t working.

This way, if you make a change that you donโ€™t like you can easily โ€œstep backโ€. โ€ข Making wholesale changes makes it far harder to go back if they arenโ€™t working. 14
