atw: Re: New Fonts

Sylfaen, and a few other fonts in Word may help you out.
Tahoma and Verdana are very good fonts to use with Sylfaen for the
variety. (so body texts etc a serif while table text becomes a sans
serif etc).
Another few:
Trebuchet
Souvenir
Simsun
Serifa
Palatino
Some of the Goudy fonts are very good too. 
Some of the Bookman (I think?) fonts are excellent.
 
Bear in mind that current graphic design for corporate look and feel is
very minimalist, very much sans serif with extreme use of white space to
accentuate the post modern lean, mean, cool efficiency feel of
companies. It kind of looks magic but then it doesn't make it great to
read either. That might mean we need to look at more use of sans serif
fonts (readability carefully considered). So some of the more minimalist
serif fonts will work really well with the corporate style guides being
pumped out.

I have been using Garamond for my manuals for several years, also for a
lot of client manuals.
However is there another font I could try for really modern business
type documentation?
Anyone using a different font for manuals? I have a PC not a Mac but I
do not mind buying a font.
Cheers
Jill
