I have a confession to make... I code in Comic Sans (dtinth.github.io)

Seriously, though, Comic Sans was originally designed to be legible at the smallest possible font size, and the lack of hard lines makes it easier to read!

It's actually very common font for dyslexia

Exactly, and iirc any san serif fonts such as Ariel is better than one with serifs such as Times New Roman.

That is true when reading on screens (especially low resolution ones), but serif fonts are thought of as better for print (they help the reader follow the longer lines of text).

Ah, interesting. I know I have trouble with serifs in general but that's not due to dyslexia. I believe that is due my astigmatism. Vertical lines tend to blur together due to me constantly seeing a bit double.
