The main conclusion is that font types have an impact on readability of people with dyslexia.
Good fonts for people with dyslexia are Helvetica, Courier, Arial, Verdana and CMU, taking into consideration both, reading performance and subjective preferences. Also, sans serif, monospaced, and roman font types increased significantly the reading performance, while italic fonts decreased reading performance.
In particular, Arial It. should be avoided since it significantly decreases readability. These findings can have impact on systems that rely on text as the main information medium, such as browsers, PDF viewers, or eBook readers.
