Description
Our out-of-the-box UIO component offers Comic Sans as one of the font family options. Many people have wondered why we include that font.
It might be more useful if we replace it with a Dyslexia-friendly font, such as OpenDyslexic:

2019-07-16T13:47:59.495-0400 I should be able to create a pull request for this based on the CISL demo work.
Will use the WOFF file provided by OpenDyslexic: https://github.com/antijingoist/open-dyslexic/tree/master/woff and, ideally, the NPM package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/open-dyslexic

2019-07-17T08:52:05.676-0400 In the fluid-design channel yesterday, we talked a bit about how this might be affected by differing languages on the page. That is, does OpenDyslexic support languages other than English and what would happen if it doesn't. We didn't yet come to a conclusion about how to address that, so it is something that still needs to be explored.
