@ The more modern Sans Serif fonts, of which there are many variations, are
usually of the same thickness and visually equal in weight throughout the
character.
@ Choosing a Font
@ Many different fonts exist within each font family. Two of the most-used fonts
are the tried-and-true Times and Helvetica fonts. The present user's manual is
printed in Times font.
@ Except in very special cases, it is inadvisable to use two fonts from the same
family on a single page: the contrast between them is too slight, giving the
impression of an irregular composition.
@ ù As a general rule, if you wish to employ more than one font on a page, limit
yourself to two fonts, from different families.
@ ù A particular design may call for more than one font size or font. While
multiple sizes and styles may be appropriate for emphasis, it is important not
to clutter up the page with too many.
@
@ Multiple Fonts
@ Another aspect when specifying multiple fonts in a document is the printer's
memory capacity. Too many fonts per document can increase printing time and
may saturate the printer's memory capacity.
@ When setting type with multiple fonts, sizes or styles remember to allow
enough leading for the largest font. If a line contains a font which is larger
than the text body, that line will be over- leaded in comparison to rest of
the text. If Auto Line Spacing from the Text menu is selected, Publishing
Partner Master will insert enough leading for the largest font on the line. In
specifying a leading value (line spacing) large enough to compensate for the
oversized characters, the paragraph will have uniform equal leading.
@
@ Choosing Point Sizes
@ The most legible point sizes are 9, 10, 11, and 12. This is the reason these
font point sizes have been adopted for text in most printed documents and
publications.
@ One of the best methods for establishing contrast among text, sub-titles,
titles, headers and footers and headlines comes from the choice of
sufficiently differing point size
