To add to your thoughts. It would nice if LDS tools would add open dyslexic to the font style. My daughter has dyslexia and it would be great if she could use LDS tools for reading church materials. Times New Roman is very difficult for her to read. As many as 1 in 5 people have dyslexia and the open dyslexic font is public domain.

I picked up my manual a couple of weeks ago. When I got home and looked at it, I almost started to cry, because I couldn't read it. It is printed in a very fine-line sans-serif font that many people with vision problems will have trouble reading. I will be returning my manual as it won't do me any good. Fortunately, the online version is in Times New Roman, which I can read. Note to the people who design such manuals: Please consider that everyone does not have perfect eyesight. A font might look pretty, but if it isn't readable to all, its prettiness is irrelevant. Weightier fonts with serifs are much easier to read. And you might consider a large-print edition next year as well.
