Comic Sans has an excellent, unironic, track record as an assistive tool for young kids struggling with dyslexia.


You can do better. This was the first Google result: https://dyslexiefont.com/en/

But there are plenty more. Why settle on the worst one?


Are any of those other "better" alternatives installed by default on Windows?


As a dyslexic, Comic sans is 10,000 times better than the font you linked.


Maybe because it’s that Comic sans is widely available and preinstalled on many systems as a „good enough“ option while others are very costly very quickly
