"The squashed, wonky, and weird glyphs of Comic Sans have been beaten into shape while maintaining the honesty that made Comic Sans so popular."

Doesn't this directly make Comic Neue inferior to Comic Sans for people with dyslexia, one of the original fonts plus points.

If your aim is to be friendly to people with dyslexia there are better fonts than Comic Sans though.

True, but I don't believe there's a more dyslexia friendly font in standard fonts which are available on more platforms.

Just a little gripe of mine, to be honest, but it's really one of the only positive things to the font, and having it removed in the process of attempting to improve the font is a bit funny to me.
