Are you actually doing paper prototypes where you shuffle bits of paper around, with one person playing the computer, or are you doing low-fi mockups? If the former, then why not write (neatly) on the paper? If the latter, use a font that won't cause distractions, as that's not what you're testing. * Nick Gassman - Usability and Standards Manager - http://ba.com * ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
