[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Fonts should be invisible. Their job is to carry the content, not BE the content. Pick one font family and use it everywhere, with occasional use of bold or larger sizes. Avoid too many different sizes. And using more than one font in the same document requires an expert eye. Like growing bamboo in your garden. That document is an amateur freak show as it currently stands. It looks like it was produced with Microsoft Publisher and then converted from PostScript to PDF externally. Look at the capital E in "East Side" as an example of freakiness. Also look at the hyphenation and column widths in the articles that have an opening photograph. That document looks to my eye to be using Times New Roman, which was designed for newspapers and is very busy here in such a large size Simplify, simplify. What tools will you be using? I hope not Publisher. Why not make it a web site? This is 2020, after all, not 1975.
