atw: Re: The Educational Benefit of Ugly Fonts ...

Before I read the article to colour my views, I would've thought that 
imaginative fonts are ok in notes or presentations as they can and will attract 
your attention. But for a manual or book, I think it might lead to eye fatigue 
and brain overload.

I'll go away and let the academics prove me wrong when I read the article.


Cheers,
Terry

Does anyone have a comment on Neil's thought that easy-to-read fonts might make 
for harder comprehension and retention? If this is true, does it follow that a 
choppy, idiosyncratic writing style works better than something fluent and 
understated?
