[Kde-accessibility] experimental idea with colour fonts

[michel]

i suggested the idea a few years back. I neglected it since then.

in short, the idea is for the people that are partially blind and rely on the 
magnifying lens. .... of course it's also "kool" :P .

Instead of relying only on the shape of the letters, they could instaid read 
by distinguishing the colours of the letters. This should ease reading, 
because more readable text can be crammed in the scream. There is some 
learning involved, but it can be incremental and relatively painless.

I've seen on TV, some people that need to literally put there nose just in 
front of the screen, with the letters taking over the whole hight of the 
screen to be able to read. These kind of people would benefit the most.

The proper way to do it, would be to implement part of the SVG fonts.
The hacker way, would be to permit for individual letters to have there own 
colours/background colour in KDE applications. For example, all "a" are red 
with yellow background, all "b" are green with purple background. As an extra 
hack, new fonts can be made, specifically for this use, that's unrelated with 
the developers here.

I think the hacker way isn't too difficult. Right?
I'm not a programmer, isn't my idea simple enough and worth implementing?
What you think? Why you wouldn't want to implement the hacker solution?

I think it's an idea that is worth looking in to.

I would like to discuss it a bit.

Thank you for reading.
:D
