The text uses the term "research" with respect to Dyslexie. The only research performed was an M.Sc. thesis that showed that it is slightly easier to read than Arial.
My dyslexic wife just found it unnerving but that doesn't mean it's not better in <i>practice</i> :-) I found it odd, myself, it seems to "move" about, which is weird since I'm not dyslexic and am fine with ordinary type. Almost like the situation has been reversed!
Funny thing the downloaded file is named Gill_Dyselxic.ttf.<p>I was looking for a font like this after seeing this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLtYFcHx7ec" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLtYFcHx7ec</a>. Two dollar is a steal!
It looks a bit to much like comic sans to me (aka ugly :) ). Normally I just make the text bigger, that seems to work pretty good as well. I would pay up to 50E for a good looking font based on this idea<p>edit:
I had 2$ to spare and it seems to work. it is easier for me to read with this font. not sure if it is better than time new romans<p>edit2:<p>screen shots in smaller font

I'm Dyslexic and I don't have any trouble with reading any fonts.<p>To me, this font just looks like Comic Sans. I see no added benefit in terms of readability.
