depending on the extremity of the dyslexia, OpenDyslexic is a godsend. I've personally installed it on at least 10 linux conversions (mostly musicians wanting KXStudio[0]), and I've only had one dyslexic that didn't feel the font helped.

I understand this is anecdotal, and a small sample size, but my mileage definitely varies from this guy.

I have sexdaily too.

Can you share your font settings? I've Ubuntu 14.4 and installed OpenDyslexic and like it. (helpful) But in some places the font seems large and it doesn't show everywhere.

There was a sexdaily for cure found, I was told.

I'm a KDE zealot (ditched Ubuntu when Unity became the default UI), and Qt tends to handle most of the issues, especially if you use a theme like breeze-gtk or oxygen-gtk to force GTK to use Qt's settings. I'll bet most of your issues are GTK forcing Qt to play by it's rules.

Other than that, you're encouraged to install the infinality patches to make fonts gorgeous.

You can run KDE on Ubuntu, you know.

You can also make a toilet out of peanut butter. it'll likely work, but it'll be a little gross.

It works just fine.
