Android ComboKey keyboard font

OpenDyslexic Mono
I notice in the repo at https://github.com/antijingoist/opendyslexic that a .glyphs file exists for OpenDyslexic Mono, but it does not yet exist as a compiled release.

(I would be using it in my text editor for coding purposes, so it shouldn't need more than the standard US ASCII character set.)

I Phone Font

I'm sure like many of you the majority of you a large part of your daily reading is done on your phone. Most cell phone don't allow you to change the font type with out paying for and downloading a third party app; personally I find this laborious and short sighted of developers.
