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 Leadership is the ability to inspire creativity, emphasize ingenuity, and encourage collaboration while remaining respectful, compassionate, and gracious. Mindy A.

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?!
