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.

In the thesis, it was not clear that the new font was easier to read than Arial.

[From a comment I made in the original submission.]

I read the tables in the thesis. There are 12 comparations between the Arial and the Dyslexie fonts, but only 2 of then have p<.1 and none of them has p<.05. So it is very difficult to know if the differences between the fonts are real or come from random noise.

I would be interested to see more related research too. We spend far too much time reading text so even a slight increase in readability is important, even for non-dyslexics

I would like to do research on my font too, I don't have any academic links or funds for it though.

I know this isn't the place for this, but I wanted to make sure you saw this...

For me, your Mono_Dyslexic font is life changing.

That is all.

I'm really glad you like it. Can I quote you as a testimonial?
