Kennedy, and Richard Oakley in Proceedings of the Human Factors Society, 31st Annual Meeting 1987. From the Abstract: "This paper discusses some of the current work to improve CRT readablility. Specifically, we have developed software to be used by a typography designer to design anti-aliased (or "grayscale") CRT typefaces. A new anti-aliased typeface was designed and tested for readablilty." From the Results: "The mean reading speed for text articles presented in hardcopy was 137.78 words per minute (wpm). The mean reading speed for the experimental font was 158.56wpm. The data suggests that proofreading with the new anti-aliased typeface on an analog color display is faster than from a hardcopy. This result is significant at the p = 0.05 level." Mark Rosenstein "Research: Trust the Process"
