Hi All

Any suggestions for alternates to Arial and Verdana, and TNR and
Garamond for headings? This is for Electronic copy - Online help, not
for printed copy. I am so bored with these (in the subject of this
email). I want to do something different but I want to stay reasonably
conservative too. Can you make some suggestions of some that look nice?
Serif or Sans Serif are fine, because whichever I go with for the
headings I will make the body copy the other


I like Sylfaen (serif) for body text - nice, clean look - and Lucida Sans
for headings. Palatino Linotype is good for character formats on top of body
text - or for use in image captions. Sylfaen, however, does not look too
good in bold, and (IMHO) sucks when italicized. That's why any emphasized
text is usually at least a different color, and mostly a different font,
too.

No doubt almost each writer on this list has their own favorite fonts, likes
and dislikes acquired from years of experience... this promises to be an
interesting thread! :-)

Cheers,
Ed.
