[Athen] Font accessibility

[David Andrews]

If you have access to the WebAim list and its 
archives -- there was just a big discussion. At 
least I think it was there. Apparently there is 
some research, there are better and worse. But 
when you get into low vision, and other 
disabilities, all bets are off.  Each condition 
and individual are different.  Do some googleing 
and I am sure you can find some of the 
research.  Other factors can also be important, 
contrast, size, letter separation, line spacing etc.
