Indeed, that is always the challenge for designers and developers when it comes to things like Dyslexia which can show many different ways, there is no one magic bullet. I know a lot of people who have great success with the fonts listed in this article. There are always more factors that contribute to readability, comprehension and processing of text then besides the font its self such as colors, color contrast between font and background, spacing between font and other design elements, etc. and this is not even taking into personal preferences when reading fonts or how a platform may render a font and what that platform allows for or constricts from the fonts file to display on screen. for example I have had some IDE's not respect the spacing set about in the font file, and it causes it to display improper or without any of the expected spacing and seemed to force its own spacing intent on the users font regardless of what was chosen much less with the respective OS chooses to do.
