On the contrary, studies I read some years ago suggested that while practice is important, given equivalent degrees of practice, the information content of the interface makes the difference. If it is easier for reader to detect and recognize a difference among letters or words, it is easier to read. Hence, given equal experience among readers, fonts with serifs were easier, since they provides more information per character and per word. -- Robert J.
