I think you are all missing the point here. That is if accessibility was built
in and regards were taken to the fonts required by all, then there would
be no need to change; therefore no time wasted and no need for
complicated strategies.
It is time that academics took note of the need for UDL (universal design
for learning) and saved themselves, their students and the support
services a lot of time and effort. As well as compling with the DDA.
