Prerequisites

Describe the bug

2020-07-24 21 18 49 の画面録画

The dyslexia-friendly text preference only works for Latin characters (because the OpenDyslexic font does not include non-Latin characters maybe). So, if you try to enable this preference on non-Latin systems like Japanese or Chinese, the most characters except Latin characters like English or numbers don't change.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open your terminal
  2. Run LANGUAGE=ja_JP io.elementary.switchboard or LANGUAGE=zh_TW io.elementary.switchboard
  3. Open Desktop→Appearance
  4. Toggle the "Dyslexia-friendly text" switch
  5. See non-Latin characters don't change

Expected behavior

Don't show the switch on non-Latin systems.

(Ideally, it would be great if this preference works for any languages, but it requires hard work to the font itself; to add sooooo many number of Chinese characters.)

Platform Information

I'm on Odin Daily.

  • I'm using the latest version from git that I've manually compiled
  • I'm using the latest released stable version

I could see this easily being possible for Kana, but virtually impossible to apply to Kanji with more than (maybe?)12 strokes due to most of their complexity. I'll see what I can do about the Kana ones.
Edit: Seems that even the kana will have to be done from scratch, since I can't find any substitute dyslexia friendly CJK fonts...
