Hello,

Do any of you have data on what typefaces are easier to read in print vs.
online documentation? I tended to like Arial (small size, usually 10-12) for
everything, until someone casually mentioned that Arial was hard to read on
paper (or did they say "online?"). Any preferences (backed up by reason) out
there in techwhirl-land?

Thanks,
Jessica
