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)
What you might desire to do is going through a thorough listing of most
(or all) of the factory-default styles and then work from there. The
very start of such a listing of mine follows...
*Factory-default styles (Title)*
All of the formatting in this template contains the factory-default
settings. No formatting changes are made whatsoever, so that the
factory-default characteristics can be determined. The first instance
(and possibly others) of any paragraph style will have a parenthetical
notational at the end of that paragraph (possibly also preceded with a
list style notation), such as in this paragraph. (Text body)
The factory-default template has the following styles (List Heading):
*
Applied Styles (List 4/List 1 Start)
*
Paragraph styles: Default (List 1/List 2 Start)
*
Page styles: Default (List 1/List 2 Cont.)
*
Conditional Styles (List 4/List 1 Cont.)
*
Text body (List 1/List 2 Start
Obviously, the formatting displayed in this post will have altered
formatting from the OTT/ODT version; however, one could easily recreate
the original formatting by applying the appropriate paragraph and list
styles named above.
Doing an examination and study of the factory defaults like this can
teach a template designer about what modifications should be needed,
etc. in actual templates. It will also display that the original factory
dfaults were never actually well-conceived and executed, even back in
the OOo originals.
