It's unclear if the result come from looking at a font that's hard to read, or simply one that's unfamiliar / not Arial. Would have been nice if they tried setting it in a reasonable text font as well like Garamond or Bookman as a third option to see how that impacts performance.

Instead, we get a study that says "use comic sans instead of Arial." Thanks.
