I object to the use of serif fonts for default. It's the first thing I change. Is it an American obsession? in Europe, a larger proportion of magazines with typographical insight, use sans serif for body text nowadays. I know all the well trodden but generally evidence sparse arguments for serif body fonts. The argument is at least as much about the aesthetic as it is about the physiological and psychological aspects of readability. In fact, on most screens sans is more readable than serif. I'd happily coexist with the serif-ims, if only they wouldn't always impose their creed on us sans-ites. I suggest we have two equivalent templates (one sans and one serif) and make template choice easier (it's not a great UX at the moment). That way both camps could be satisfied Cheers, Greg -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
