Steven,

RE: "...are the plainer Times Roman easier to implement?"

Times Roman and Helvetica are usually the first typefaces created
(copied) by a type producer because they remain the most popular
typefaces in the US, in terms of sales. It may be arguable that they are
easier to produce, but this is most likely not the first consideration.

RE:"Does anyone have any general information on readability of fonts?"

Try reading: "Typography: how to make it most legible" by Rolf F. Rehe
c. 1974, published by Design Research International POB 27 Carmel,
Indiana
46032.

Sincerely,
