  • 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.

Habitat, Body, Story: Picturing the shifting nature of home Prologue Upon visiting the Grotto of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Annie Dillard touched a hole, painted with a fourteen-pointed star, in the cobblestone floor of a deep, dingy, poorly decorated cave. The hole marks the spot where Jesus was born. Supposedly, it used to be a stable with a manger, but the landscape has changed over time, now completely covered with monasteries “like barnacles.”1 Annie’s present day experience of Jesus’s birthplace is an odd collision. The story of Jesus in Christian religious texts, the actual body and life of Jesus, and the surrounding habitat or setting of his birth exist in different time frames. The landscape of the Earth’s surface and the structures we build on it continually recycle.

Warum hassen alle Comic Sans? Metapragmatische Onlinediskurse zu einer typographischen Hassliebe Dimitrios Meletis Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz 1. Einleitung If you love it, you don’t know much about typography, and if you hate Com- ic Sans you don’t know very much about typography either, and you should probably get another hobby. Vincent Connare, Designer von Comic Sans1 Spätestens ab dem Zeitpunkt, als mit dem Aufkommen des PCs einer breiten Masse die Möglichkeit geboten wurde, Schriftprodukte mithilfe von vorinstallierten Schriftbear- beitungsprogrammen und darin angebotenen Schriftarten nach Belieben selbst zu gestal- ten, wurde – oftmals unbewusst – mit vielen (vor allem impliziten) Konventionen ge- brochen. Comic Sans kann in diesem Kontext als Paradebeispiel gelten: Die 1994 ent- worfene Type (in Folge simplifiziert: Schriftart, Schrift) wird im Internet vor allem auf- grund von Verwendungen in dafür als unpassend empfundenen Situationen von vielen leidenschaftlich ‚gehasst‘. So existiert(e) unter anderem ein Manifest, das ein Verbot der Schrift fordert(e) (bancomicsans.com).2 Personen, die die „Schauder-Schrift“ (Lischka 2008) „falsch“ verwenden, werden als Comic Sans Criminals bezeichnet und ihnen wird Hilfe angeboten,

  • Arab Children's Reading Preference for Different Online Fonts
    Arab Children’s Reading Preference for Different Online Fonts Asmaa Alsumait1, Asma Al-Osaimi2, and Hadlaa AlFedaghi2 1 Computer Engineering Dep., Kuwait University, Kuwait 2 Regional Center For Development of Educational Software, Kuwait [email protected], {alosaimi,hadlaa}@redsoft.org Abstract. E-learning education plays an important role in the educational proc- ess in the Arab region. There is more demand to provide Arab students with electronic resources for knowledge now than before. The readability of such electronic resources needs to be taken into consideration. Following design guidelines in the e-learning programs’ design process improves both the reading performance and satisfaction. However, English script design guidelines cannot be directly applied to Arabic script mainly because of difference in the letters occupation and writing direction. Thus, this paper aimed to build a set of design guidelines for Arabic e-learning programs designed for seven-to-nine years old children. An electronic story is designed to achieve this goal. It is used to gather children’s reading preferences, for example, font type/size combination, screen line length, and tutoring sound characters. Results indicated that Arab students preferred the use of Simplified Arabic with 14-point font size to ease and speed the reading process. Further, 2/3 screen line length helped children in reading faster. Finally, most of children preferred to listen to a female adult tutoring sound. Keywords: Child-Computer Interfaces, E-Learning, Font Type/Size, Human- Computer Interaction, Information Interfaces and Presentation, Line Length, Tutoring Sound. 1 Introduction Ministries of education in the Arab region are moving toward adopting e-learning methods in the educational process.

    Loopagroup - Travel Network Logo and Website By Erica Dang Department of Art & Design College of Liberal Arts Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo March 2009 Abstract This report contains information on working with a client and the internet, designing a travel network’s logo and website look and feel. Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction . 1 Statement of Problem Purpose or Objective of Study Limitations of the Study Chapter 2: Review of Research . 3 Chapter 3: Procedures and Results . 5 Chapter 4: Summary and Recommendations . 26 Bibliography . 28 i Chapter 1 – Introduction Statement of Problem: Level Studios in San Luis Obispo is looking to create a travel network logo and web site. Purpose or Objective of the Study: When it was time to choose a senior project, I examined my portfolio and looked for areas of graphic design that were missing, such as web design. This project will show that I am a well rounded designer. Many companies are now looking for web designers and knowing how the web works is helpful. Limitations of the Study: Some limitations were lack of time, travel issues, conflicting schedules for meetings and consultations, and limited web font selections. For example, most of the meetings took place Monday nights. However, sometimes the clients had to stay late at work and could not make it to some meetings. When there was a Monday holiday, some members of the group were out of town and could not meet. Regarding typography, the client saw all serif fonts fit for the web appeared the same. Common fonts to all versions of Windows and Mac equivalents are: Arial, Arial Black, Helvetica, Gadget, Comic Sans, Courier New, Georgia, Impact, Lucida Console, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, Monaco, Palatino, Book Antiqua, Tahoma, Trebuchet, Verdana, Symbol, and Webdngs.
