Subject: RE: Tech: A font for your song book.
The only thing wrong with the text Leeneia quoted was that the sentences were too long. The meaning was clear enough and I doubt it was meant to be a parody. (There is a way of making long prose sentences more readable, which has been tested by 300 years of experience and doesn't involve font design: lay it out in narrow columns).

OpenDyslexic looks at first glance like it would give me a headache. I'm shortsighted and presbyopic (very little accommodation left) and it isn't aimed at helping my problems.

The Chalkboard font you get with Macs has a lot of the advantages of Comic Sans - not quite as readable, but snooty graphic designer types usually haven't heard of it, so they won't make annoyingly ignorant comments about you using it.
