Okay, first of all, thank you for being politer than the responses I usually get from Denise. I'm sorry for my earlier tone.
To address courier, I am honestly extremely surprised by that study. The problem with courier is that all letters are exactly the same width, making letters like d and b much harder to tell apart; compare Helvetica, for example, b is (or at least appears to me) fractionally narrower and rounder than d. The courier font literally gives me migraines when attempting to read it, to the point where I ask RPers who use [font-face courier] to denote text messages (as opposed to spoken word) to please not use it when tagging with me. I have had to use the Stylebot add-on to change the font face in multiple locations. One size does not fit all, and I know several other people with dyslexia-family disorders who have the same complaint with it that I do.
