Description

When browsing the website with a font set to improve readability for dyslexic people (http://opendyslexic.org/) most of the symbols do not render, making it very hard to use (to understand what a button does it is necessary to read the hover text)

![screenshot](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1256049/13958840/ef0c015c-f051-11e5-8ef2-ffc20f4efb33.png)

i would suggest to either use icons or use a subset of symbols that is widely supported.

Research direction

Reproduce the website with OpenDyslexic enabled and inspect the affected symbols and controls shown in the screenshot. Done means the symbols render reliably, or the controls remain understandable without relying on hover text.
