Joe/Ian,
I am involved in designing typefaces for better legibility in special
needs and
a spin-off of this is that they happen also to be useful for the
partially sighted.
Dr. Rosemary Sassoon - a handwriting expert, has a book that is
recommended
reading for anyone wanting to get the best from fonts on computers.
Details of "Computers and Typography" and all her books are on our
website...

Joe,
I have a design/interface question for you. As a photographer, I
often like web and app interfaces which have white or very light
grey text on a dark grey (sometimes *very* dark grey) background -
is this as bad as a coloured background for you?
I'm specifically thinking of apps like Aperture or websites like

Just to add my two bits worth: As someone who is visually
challenged, when I receive ANYTHING with white text and a colored
background, I trash it. It is entirely too difficult for me to
read. I certainly would not work in that type of environment under
any circumstances. Black on white works for me. IMHO,
