I think 99% of the population could agree on a "good enough" font, if reading comprehension is the goal. In fact, I think 99% of the population just reads the words. Our brains necessarily learn to ignore the fonts. Our brains necessarily learn to ignore even the characters themselves [1].

I think this demonstrates that the goal is not reading comprehension, which makes agreeing on some "good enough" difficult/impossible.
