TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I find serif fonts (especially ones that look like TNR) almost IMPOSSIBLE to
read on a computer screen, but I can't wait to see what kind of replies this
query gets.
I agree, especially on a laptop in poor lighting conditions.
Other considerations about your target audience:
1. Does it include individuals with visual difficulties? My mother and
mother-in-law have macular degeneration. Serifs are very difficult for them
to distinquish.
2. Does it include senior citizens? Don't laugh! The senior citizen
community is one of the fastest growing e-commerce markets. They may have
special requirements for onscreen fonts. This isn't an area I've seen many
studies on.
