I am the validator/proofreader. He came to me from Shelley in larger fonts, and I just wondered if there was at least the four pt. variance if it could still be kept at a larger size.


I had not stopped to think about screen readers, can anyone address that issue?

Thanks!

Well, if it is oked, then it would be important to let the validator/ proofreader know as if one is following the directions from the manual it says to change to 12 pt.

I'm not techy enough to know, but does a particular size font interfere with the screen reader?

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question on kids book fonts


I think I am right in remembering that we can use either Arial or Times new Roman, right? Okay, my question is, in kids books, can we use larger pt. fonts, like 16 and 24? Nichole was showing her books on her screen to a buddy and they always wanted larger fonts. Most kids books scan at something s like 16 & 24, so I am hoping that would be okay. I am doing two of Shelley's Stanley books and would like to do them like that if it is acceptable and will still handle well in Braille.
