Paul, Here are a few references I've collected: # http://www.lighthouse.org/print_leg.htm # http://www.tiresias.org/fonts/home.htm # http://psychology.wichita.edu/surl/usabilitynews/3W/fontSR.htm Personally, I like Verdana as its just a little wider than Arial - my vision impaired coleagues find it better too. This is supported by SitePoint - http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/archive/newsletter69.php "There are two fonts specifically designed for maximum readability on screen, they are the Verdana and Georgia typefaces. The only down side to these two fonts is that they do not print out very well. Arial and Times Roman are both very legible both onscreen and off. Unless you have a good reason not to, stick to these four fonts."

We all know times roman is not always a good idea and thus <FONT FACE="geneva, arial, helvetica, sans serif"> is so simple so it's not worth talking about, but that is my problem, being so basic no one I can find has mentioned it in print!! Even checked Nielson and nothing I could see. Any suggestions please? smiles Paul Davis http://www.ten-20.com The portal website for disabled people and associated professionals.
