Well, yes and no. In reading text on paper, readers in several European countries tend to do better with sans-serif text than text with serifs. Most people in the U.S. prefer text with serifs. But when it comes to reading text on a screen (especially in medium-to-low resolutions and almost always with small text) most readers tend to do better with sans-serif text (serifs tend not to display well). -- T.
