TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
There's little point in arguing about the virtues of serifs because there
are a zillion uses for serif and for sans serif too. Since there is no end to
the type of document we all work on, we can all expect to use different fonts
for different occasions.
I would argue that it's important not to automatically discount a whole type
of font. Use samples and determine which is better after actually seeing it and
using it. We have all seen examples of uses of serif and sans serif fonts where
we didn't expect, yet the design still worked.
