Well, lets see, may be not moving, but they try to slide to the left or the right... I think this is because eye muscles relax and each eye is pointing wherever he wants... I think. What I think it happens to me is not moving words but tiredness. And I experiment it much less with a comfortable (for me) font. In example, years ago discovered (working to much) that Verdana or comic sans allowed me to to feel less tired, all my computers ended up with Verdana which I consider a bit more elegant than the other.
I don't really notice any evident symptoms, beyond mental fatigue, that occurs far later when reading with a font of my choice.
May be not dyslexic, may I be finicky, but I really notice the difference, and enjoy reading much more. I even improved reading comprehension, I rarely have to come back to reread now, what happens to me more frequently than I wanted with other fonts.
