The Minority Report - Quick and Easy

Sometimes breathing the rarified atmosphere of high office can do things to the brain. As an example, please to be reading this electronic missive from Assistant Principal Mrs. Newand-Fartookeen....

Ok - here's a random one for you!

We produce so many materials (or have done to date) that are in a non dyslexia friendly font (eg times NR) just cos I suspect it is the default font on machines. What's the hope of changing the default? We could do with a rounded font such as Arial/Comic sans/Verdana. I guess some might search and resort to TNR BUT if we made that difficult rather than the norm I think we might head in the right direction.

We need to be DDA compliant and to do this would be a quick (and i would hope fairly simple) step forwards. Can we?

Do you know, I've been wondering what's happened to that 'Change All The Computers So They Only Produce Text In Comic Sans' button....
