Firstly, I really love this font & I appreciate all the work that's gone into it!
As a regular TeX user who writes mainly scientific/mathematical documents, I would love to see more commonly used mathematical glyphs (e.g. contour integrals, dots over letters to represent time derivatives, things like \lesssim for us astronomers) incorporated into OpenDyslexic.
The current math mode typeface in LaTeX (Computer Modern or Latin Modern) is extremely difficult for some, given its serifs, nearly uniform letter shaping, etc. Integrating these features would be incredibly useful for the presumably large community of people in STEM professions who struggle with dyslexia!
I'm aware that some basic glyphs have already been developed (e.g., integrals, I think both total & partial derivatives, the Greek alphabet) so I believe the stylistic foundation for mathematical glyphs is already in place.
I have no experience in designing or coding fonts, but I'm happy to volunteer to contribute if I can be of any help!
