Hi Kim,
When proofreading, the style doesn't matter much, unless the proofreader can
see and wants to work with a comfortably readable font. When books go
through Bookshare's daisy converter, they are converted to a very simple
font, much like Ariel, I'm told. What is important to us as blind
proofreaders is to make sure that we preserve bolding and italics, and make
sure that titles are bolded and enlarged, and that a font is a uniform size
except for the titles I previously mentioned so that readers with print
disabilities who can see don't have to struggle to read the print because it
is constantly varying in size.
Hope that helps.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Book styles
Hi, I wish to understand book styles. Does it have to do with the look of
the text, i.e., font, paragraphing, line placement, etc.? I wish to know
what the most readable style Bookshare approves of. I know the book I'm
proofreading has a style number which makes no sense to me. Would anyone
care to enlighten me on this? I want to make sure that I know how to avoid
hassles in proofreading in future. As far as I know, there isn't a huge
disparity when one discusses Braille books. This is unknown country.
Regards, Kim.
