As someone with dyslexia, I appreciate the reminder to UX designers to account for diabilities! Making a website dyslexic friendly is not hard.
Don't EVER do black-on-white or white-on-black! Those are hardest for us to read. Black on off-white, or white on a dark non-black background are better.
Context isn't much of a factor in dyslexia, because the condition moves letters/words around for us (in different ways depending on the type of dyslexia). If we know what the letter IS, we can usually "untangle" what we're reading, but the l-I-1 collision makes it harder, because we don't know what it was.

Don't use icon fonts.. We have SVG for a reason.
Make your website behave well with Stylish, which some dyslexic users use to override colors and fonts to make the site more readable.
Sans serif FTW, but please choose fonts without that annoying l-I-1 collision.
Curious, I find sharp contrasting text the easier to read and have difficulties reading sites that use off-colors.
Doesn't context usually resolve I-l-1 collisions?
