From: Yeebok on 13 Aug 2007 06:12 Well at the mo my main font is 'segoe ui' (vista) but on top of that I like Trebuchet, the Bitstream Vera ones that come with Open Office and news gothic. They're all sans fonts to be honest tho I have no trouble reading serifs I won't use them, not even for threefiddy .. bikerbetty wrote: > "Moike" <bmwmoike(a)gmail.com> wrote in message > news:46c02a7e$0$15276$afc38c87(a)news.optusnet.com.au... >> GB wrote: >>> BT Humble <bt_humble(a)bigpond.com> wrote in >>> news:1186912511.825178.70210(a)x40g2000prg.googlegroups.com: >>>> bikerbetty wrote: >>>>> It's not that Bigger is Better (well, typographically speaking it >>>>> IS... but I won't say a word beyond that!) but I'd just like to know >>>>> who set the bloody text trends recently that made "weenily undoable" >>>>> the default!

Nah, I'm talking about MY response to OTHER people's written message - I prefer to read stuff in a sans-font. I find it easier on the eyes, and after years of struggling with appalling student-handwriting, find the clean-cut sans-serif font a joy to read. Perhaps it's a quirk, and perhaps that's why I submit my own stuff in Times (which I really don't like, and I often edit my (long) stuff in a sans-font (for my own comfort) before converting it prior to submission.) > > http://psychology.wichita.edu/surl/usabilitynews/52/UK_font.htm > > http://eserver.org/courses/w01/tc510/hades/kaltenbach1.htm > > The second includes this data: > ************************************************************** > Comprehension Level: Serif versus Sans Serif typeface [5] > Good Fair Poor > Layout with serif body type 67% 19% 14% > Layout with sans serif body type 12% 23% 65% > ************************************************************** > > If you are writing for a purpose and you are using sans-serif typefaces > for body text, you may be doing yourself a disservice. > > Moike "If" you are writing for a purpose?
