Fellow TECHWR-Lers,
I know this may have come up in the past but I need your help.
I am wrapping up a documentation project that will be published in 2 weeks.
The content is created in FrameMaker and the output is 40+ PDFs plus a CHM
(using RoboHelp for Frame). In your opinion, what are:
1. Best fonts to use to match PDF and CHM
2. Without using colors, what variations of fonts and formats would
you use for headings 1-4
3. What is the most readable body font?
4. What quick fixes have you tried in the past to give old content a
quick face lift?
Appreciate your help, please reply to me and the list, I get the digest.
Happy Wednesday from Texas
