  • 15 the Effect of Font Type on Screen Readability by People with Dyslexia
    The Effect of Font Type on Screen Readability by People with Dyslexia LUZ RELLO and RICARDO BAEZA-YATES, Web Research Group, DTIC, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain Around 10% of the people have dyslexia, a neurological disability that impairs a person’s ability to read and write. There is evidence that the presentation of the text has a significant effect on a text’s accessibility for people with dyslexia. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no experiments that objectively 15 measure the impact of the typeface (font) on screen reading performance. In this article, we present the first experiment that uses eye-tracking to measure the effect of typeface on reading speed. Using a mixed between-within subject design, 97 subjects (48 with dyslexia) read 12 texts with 12 different fonts. Font types have an impact on readability for people with and without dyslexia. For the tested fonts, sans serif , monospaced, and roman font styles significantly improved the reading performance over serif , proportional, and italic fonts. On the basis of our results, we recommend a set of more accessible fonts for people with and without dyslexia. Categories and Subject Descriptors: H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: User Interfaces— Screen design, style guides; K.4.2 [Computers and Society]: Social Issues—Assistive technologies for per- sons with disabilities General Terms: Design, Experimentation, Human Factors Additional Key Words and Phrases: Dyslexia, learning disability, best practices, web accessibility, typeface, font, readability, legibility, eye-tracking ACM Reference Format: Luz Rello and Ricardo Baeza-Yates. 2016.

But first, I digress… inch marks, so you’ll probably get to enter those manually anyway.† Nothing is perfect…) Most of us agree that the use of correct grammar — or at In American English, punctuation marks are usually placed least something approaching it — is important in our printed before closing quotes rather than after them (e.g. She said documents. Of course “printed documents” refers not just to “No!”). But don’t do this if it would confuse the message words printed on paper these days, but also to things distrib- (e.g. Did she say “no!”?).

  • A Notation and Definitions
    A Notation and Definitions All notation used in this work is “standard”. I have opted for simple nota- tion, which, of course, results in a one-to-many map of notation to object classes. Within a given context, however, the overloaded notation is generally unambiguous. I have endeavored to use notation consistently. This appendix is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of definitions. The Index, beginning on page 519, is a more reliable set of pointers to defini- tions, except for symbols that are not words. A.1 General Notation Uppercase italic Latin and Greek letters, such as A, B, E, Λ, etc., are generally used to represent either matrices or random variables. Random variables are usually denoted by letters nearer the end of the Latin alphabet, such X, Y ,and Z, and by the Greek letter E. Parameters in models (that is, unobservables in the models), whether or not they are considered to be random variables, are generally represented by lowercase Greek letters. Uppercase Latin and Greek letters are also used to represent cumulative distribution functions. Also, uppercase Latin letters are used to denote sets. Lowercase Latin and Greek letters are used to represent ordinary scalar or vector variables and functions. No distinction in the notation is made between scalars and vectors;thus,β may represent a vector and βi may represent the ith element of the vector β. In another context, however, β may represent a scalar. All vectors are considered to be column vectors, although we may write a vector as x =(x1,x2,...,xn). Transposition of a vector or a matrix is denoted by the superscript “T”.

    William Shunn (he/him) about 1,500 words 12 Courier Place Pica’s Font, NY 12012 (212) 555-1212 [email protected] Active member, SCHWA Proper Manuscript Format by Bill Shunn No one knows how many good stories are passed over because the manuscripts containing them are poorly formatted. We can be certain, however, that editors will more eagerly read a cleanly formatted manuscript than a cluttered and clumsy one. Here are a few suggestions for giving your manuscript that critical leg up on the competition. Start with a fresh white page, no color, no decorations. Set one-inch margins all around--left, right, top, and bottom. This is the default for most word processors, but you might want to recheck your settings just to be safe. Use black type only, since other colors can make your work difficult to read. Set your font size to 12 points. For the Shunn / Format / 2 font itself choose something standard and easily readable, like Times New Roman. Avoid sans-serif fonts, and stay far away from anything flashy or unusual. You want to wow the editor with your content, not your font choice. (Some writers, myself included, still prefer Courier New, a monospaced font that resembles typewriter output. You can use that too if you like, but it’s probably on its way out, at least in fiction circles.) Place your contact information in the upper-left corner of the first page, including your legal name, address, phone number, and email. Add your preferred pronouns if you like. List any professional writing affiliations next, but only when relevant.

  • Expressionist 3.2 User's Guide
    FOREWARD Equation typesetting has traditionally been a difficult task. Besides the unorthodox symbols and arrangements, there almost always needs to be some ad-hoc fine-tuning, deviating at times from whatever typesetting rules may seem to apply. Until recently, computers have been heavily oriented toward linear text. Equation structures, which evolved on two dimensional surfaces that were marked with human hands with perfect freedom, did not carry over well. Expressionist grew out of a need for an intuitive equation typesetting method. Besides displaying the expression being edited, it allows easy editing of that expression in an obvious way, as modern word processors allow easy, intuitive modification of documents. This user’s manual consists mainly of tutorial and reference sections, referred to as the Guided Tour and the Encyclopedia, respectively. If you are like most people, you may want to put down the manual and start using the software right away. Fortunately, you do not need to read the entire manual to use Expressionist if you are familiar with Windows and some general applications. Just follow the instructions in the Getting Started section and start using the program. To learn Expressionist, start with the Quick Tour, take the Guided Tour, work through the tutorials, and by the time you hit the Cookbook you’ll be proficient enough with the program to create equations with a minimum of assistance from the documentation. If you wish to become a power user of Expressionist and master all of its useful features, you can look up items of interest in the Encyclopedia, which is an alphabetized reference section.
