Maximum Accessibility (Slatin & Rush, pub: Addison Wesley) recommends these fonts for those with low vision. Mencap's "Am I Making Myself Clear"* says to use a 'clear' typeface such as Arial or Univers for those with learning disabilities. (I guess that Univers is another sans-serif font.) The Mencap document appears to be done in Helvetica. Can't check my other books because my wife's just turned the lights out - bedtime over here! Hope this helps.
