I am now the reluctant owner of a team-wide template document
But that means I get to choose the damn font
DEATH TO CAMBRIA
@fobo I mean Cambria isn't bad. It isn't like Times New Roman or something.
I recommend Georiga, Bookman Old Style, or Baskerville (BUT NOT BASKERVILLE OLD STYLE, IT IS AN EYESORE)
Oof, Baskerville old face is bad news
It's just that we have a dozen or more templates, all in Calibri 10.5 (why 10.5? why not 11?), and this one in friggin Cambria and it makes me nuts
But then I'm a sans serif kinda guy.
@fobo I'm afraid I'm going to have to burn you at the stake now. Sans serif is for highway signs, not documents. It lowers reading speed.
Ha! I didn't know that.
@fobo Serifs make the eye flow from one letter to the next at the cost of making each letter harder to recognize.
Sans serifs lower reading speed, but increase the distance at which you can read something.
So highways signs are better in sans serifs. Also good for use in Powerpoints (though Serif is fine there). But bad for body text.
@fobo Hmm. You could check it out with a colourblind app. Do you use Android? I can recommend one that someone told me about. I'd suggest using italics/bold/underline/small caps/double underline for that, but there might be other ways.
I do use Android. Thanks!

Another readability questions: I'm working on a template with a bunch of different entry options. I'm using colored highlighting to distinguish different customizable sections, but thinking that might not be ideal for color-blind or visually impaired folks.
Any suggestions or thoughts?
