A question for multilingual dyslexics
Post Body

First off, I'm not dyslexic so I apologize in advance if there are any misunderstandings about the disorder on my part. I recently remembered reading about a font that was created specifically for dyslexics that made slight alterations to each of the letters in the Latin alphabet making each letter more distinguishable from one another. This is because the same lines and curves are repeatedly used in fonts like Times New Roman or Ariel, and that repetition is why the letters get jumbled up in the minds of those with dyslexia. So I was wondering, do any of you that knows another language that uses a different alphabet have an easier or more difficult time reading and writing that language?

Edit/Clarification: Thank you to those that have already responded with your experiences. However, the examples given were languages that also used the Latin alphabet (in hindsight I think I should have said script instead). What I was looking for languages that use different symbols to represent sounds though it is interesting that just the structure of words and sentences in another language with the same script has an effect as well. Examples of languages I was expecting feed back from were; Russian (Cyrillic), Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi (Devanagari), etc.
