Re: Usability: Serif and Sans-Serif font faces?

["Bonnie Granat" <bgranat -at- granatedit -dot- com>]

No specific authorities come to mind -- just the reading I did about
typography in the graduate program at Northeastern. A quick Google
search, though, comes up with Ilene Strizver -- one page is at
http://www.itcfonts.com/ulc/article.asp?nCo=AFMT&sec=ulc&issue=28.2.1&art=lns2
and she is quoted elsewhere. I'm sure there are others. Oh, here's a
page that says it's presenting information from Tufte -- 
http://www.hacknot.info/hacknot/action/showEntry?eid=38.

But perhaps we are talking about apples and oranges, or perhaps I just
was mistaken about the historical origin.  Now, how does one explain
the serifs that appear in Medieval manuscripts made by pen and ink?

I found your explanation, also, so I stand corrected. Thank you.
