A Princeton study says "in some cases" when you use fonts that are harder to read it "can improve long-term learning and retention."
Might be useful for flashcard study. I'm thinking of using it with my upcoming GRE Literature exam in April. I still need to read through the actual study and find out what these "in some cases" are. Very interesting article.

I wonder if we'll see a follow up study about how disfluent fonts correlate with an increase in needing new glasses :ack: !
