Your observation is what is typically used in practice--using serif
typefaces for body text in print docs and sans serif for onscreen
viewing. Some editors will switch typefaces used for headings, though:
sans serif for print docs and serif in an online doc.

Why not try creating your own "print" version by simply altering the
typeface for the body-text paragraph styles that were employed the
source docs--a very simple task. Then just port out your own PDF.

I do share the OP comments about printed matter vs screen display and your idea seems very interesting to me, Gary.

Perhaps we could keep that need in mind while re-designing the documentation templates? BTW, the styles cataloging is on my workbench for a few days now. I hope that, as a first step, I can get a styles dependencies map by to-morrow. (I'll open a new thread on due time)

I keep delaying starting to work on a version 3.5.x template redesign--and getting rid of all the needless OOo prefixes and such for the paragraph and character style names, among others. I plan to create a more general template, which would have a more universal character for others to employ for (print) book building.

I tend to prefer not having the right-ragged edges , so the template would then use justified body text and hyphenation, etc. So, maybe, I might begin to work on it in a few days. I am doing some minor reroofing of my home and a few other projects now that the weather is getting warmer and drier.
