Yes, good list. Not all sans serifs are suitable for readability on *or*
off the screen. Certainly a much better choice for dyslexic considerations
than *any* serifs for visually and conceptual impairment.

Let's think about this... how can one type of fonting be good for
online and one for offline? Remember some monitors now have better
resolution than even printed materials so that argument doesn't wash
right? Logic dictates that a certain type typography for either digital and
print would be the correct choice.

Any further on this thread please see me one-on-one. I think I've
ridden this pony long enough. I'm ready to move on.

Had a request for ADA as it re: to the law.
