Fonts and Page Sizes

The choice of font is highly personal: it is important to select simple styled clear fonts. Thus gothic styles are complex iterative styles and are hard to read on screen when the light conditions / contrast cannot be optimised.

The iPad offers five fonts:

• Baskerville
• Cochin
• Palatino
• Times New Roman
• Verdana

Other good clear fonts could include:

• Janson
• Goramand
• Bodini
• Tahoma
• Calibri
