The reasoning is that people with dyslexia often have difficulty perceiving the letters as stable and fixed in their spots, so the heavier lower part is supposed to help keep the letters "in place". Didn't work on the dyslexics I tried it on, but my sample has been very small so far (two, to be precise...)

Any dyslexics on the board here who could give their impression of those Dyslexic fonts?
