Could you consider including the visually-impaired friendly
Atkinson Hyperlegible Font?

To me it looks like a reasonable font to make selectable in Ubuntu.
But before that can be really considered, it would need to be
packaged in a sensible way for Debian. Even if the Atkinson
Hyperlegible font files are actually included in the
texlive-fonts-extra package, they would need to be broken out into a
separate package.
Package created:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/fonts-atkinson-hyperlegible
Maybe that is sufficient. A user can do:
sudo apt install fonts-atkinson-hyperlegible
and pick Atkinson Hyperlegible in the web browser and/or Tweaks.
Otherwise, if we want to include it on the ISO, I'm assuming that we should
have a blessing from the desktop team before submitting a MIR.
Thank-you - that is really useful for visually impaired operators (and that
includes those with reasonably good vision that is starting to go fuzzy at
close range!).
Being used in the installers (or an easily found Accessibility option) would be
icing on the cake. Having to hunt for such support often makes those needing
it feel like second-class citizens yet for something like this there is very
little, if any, down-side to everyone using this by default (especially in an
installer where the defaults should cater for all use-cases where there is no
opportunity to customise the early experience - particularly for newcomers and
novices).
