Hi Chris,

At Penn State University, we use Arial size 12.  This has to do with document 
accessibility and the programming of document readers.  Our Accessibility and 
Usability Department published general 
recommendations<http://accessibility.psu.edu/legibility/fontface/> pertaining 
to online reading and Font Face on the 
Web<http://accessibility.psu.edu/fontfacehtml/> to assist in font selection.

Hope this helps.
Mindy

Subject: [acupa-l] Formatting and fonts

Hi all,

My question is somewhat related to the thread on policies vs. procedures.  
We've had a similar situation where the Oregon University System, which 
provided a central governance structure for the Oregon public universities, 
dissolved a few years back.  We're now in a situation where we're completely 
overhauling our policy structures, catering them to OSU's needs.  That means 
new processes, policies, definitions, guidance, etc.  Also, the university has 
recently undertaken a new branding campaign which has new requirements for 
logos and fonts etc.

My question-maybe a weird one-is actually about fonts.  Has anyone put any 
thought into which font is best for your policies?  Has anyone run into 
situations where your font isn't compatible with other people's computers or 
systems.  Obviously I've thought more about fonts lately than ever 
before-normally I pick Calibri and call it a day, but our new branding campaign 
is recommending Kievit and I'm running into issues as I update our policy 
template and other docs.

Any thoughts on a good font?!

Chris
