Maybe you might be interested in integrating the (free) font "dyslexiefont" as an alternative font into the manager? It helps people with dyslexia by making text better readable: http://www.dyslexiefont.com/en/dyslexia-font/ The results are really remarkable!

I emailed them for permission to use.

I have started editing the welcome screen to include things like this. There is a toggle button for the font on the welcome screen.

Does it make sense to implement this as a setting instead of using cookies, so it can be enabled/disabled for specific users or groups with user (group) settings?

go for it

Actually there is considerable debate about this issue. And there are several free alternatives.
