Fonts for books, with more description in the question
am putting together a book of historical documents from my library. I have
visitors to my library and I think that I could do a book on them. I am going to use 8 1/2 X 11 inch pages of acid free paper but not finished paper. I have two fonts I need, one for my text explaining the source of the text. Another for the historical text itself. For my text I want to have the feeling of being modern, credible, pleasing to the eye, friendly, easy to read for wide accessibility, and not off-putting by being too pretty, unfriendly, or officious or heavy. The quotes need to be easy to read, somehow the feeling of historical documents, but under no circumstances any romanticization or beautification. They need to be fonts on my Word that came with my XP Windows computer. Thanks Ed Sebesta |

Fonts for books, with more description in the question
I am thinking of either Palatino Linotype 12 pt or 13 pt. Garamond 12 or 13
pt, and Bookman Old Style 11 pt. My text is about 10% of the book, and the documents and image files of historical documents are about 90%. I think that it meets my needs, is an open easy to read text for academic and non-academic audiences. It would not be alienating. Old Goudy I think my romanticize the texts.

Fonts for books, with more description in the question
"newtknight" wrote in message news Answered where? I presume in one of the other groups you have posted to. You know what they are. I suppose this makes an officious person like yourself feel superior. The message was not so much intended for you as to warn others not to waste time answering a question which had already been dealt with. Please remember that nobody is paid to answer questions in the newsgroups. They all have a day job doing something else. Those who answer do so because they enjoy it. It is very unusual for it to be necessary to get half the answer from each of two different groups. If you feel you *must* post your message to multiple groups, please include the names of all the groups in the header for a single message, rather than posting separate messages to each group. This makes it easier for you and everyone else to keep track of who has replied to the question. It is a real annoyance to those who answer to spend an hour on a question only to find someone has already answered it in another group. More tips on posting to the newsgroups can be found here. Tips from MVPs on posting to the Word newsgroups http://word.mvps.org/FindHelp/Posting.htm -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup |
