The OpenDyslexic font is unreadable, unproven, unscientific shite that is genuinely more difficult for me, a dyslexic person, to read, to a degree that genuinely hurts my eyes.
Please consider before deploying it whether you are actually doing anything but make the experience worse for your users.
Hmm, I do know a dyslexic person who found OpenDyslexic very helpful, but of course that doesn't change your experience with it. Is there another approach that would work better for you?
Legible fonts with distinct letter shapes and clear background contrast honestly is the best it gets. This is why OD is so awful to me, because the weird bottom weighting of the letters and shapes has the effect of making them all look more alike and harder to parse. Too much of it and I literally get a little headache.
