That's true. You need the font AND a specially prepared source text. The font on its own is pointless. Though it's pointless anyway.
OTOH the supposed font for Dyslexic readers is just a font. It was an art (graphic design) project with no scientific basis. There is evidence that larger font, better kerning, choice of the most familiar Serif or Sans Serif, adjustment of line spacing and margins can really help Dyslexic readers. None for the Open Dyslexic font, in fact it may be worse than Times Roman.
