For some reason I was under the impression that in the
conversion bookshare changed fonts to some standard,
which for some reason I thought was courier 10 or
courier new 10.

Regardless of what I thought, I do what Judy does as
far as trying to differentiate fonts for title pages,
chapter titles, whatever, as well as keeping bold and
italics. But also bearing in mind that people have
said in the past that anything over 36 point can't be
read. I've also found the tiny print of some copyright
pages difficult to read even for me who does,
admittedly, wear trifocals but otherwise has normal
rather than low vision. I have been leaving it in a
smaller font, not thinking about low-vision readers
but thinking that it doesn't matter in Braille or
Daisy (that's audio, right?) But I suppose low-vision
readers can, like me, enlarge the "book," which I find
I have to do to validate. But I use the magnifier part
of word rather than change the font size of the scan.
