Serifs and font legibility
Using lower-case fonts varying only in serif size (0%, 5%, and 10% cap height), we assessed legibility using size thresholds and reading speed. Five percentage serif fonts were slightly more legible than sans serif, but the average inter-letter spacing increase that serifs themselves impose, predicts greater enhancement than we observed. RSVP and continuous reading speeds showed no effect of se...
متن کاملEffects of Typeface and Font Size on Legibility for Children
Eighty children (kindergarten through 4th grade) performed discrimination and identification tasks for tachistoscopically-presented letter pairs. Letter pairs manipulated font (Times New Roman, Arial), point size (12and 18-point) and letter-pair discrimination difficulty (easy, medium, and hard). Higher percent correct scores occurred for the Arial font and 18-pt size, and performance was bette...

Although there has been research into the legibility of these fonts, no study has yet explored font legibility in the context of ethnicity across font types. The present study attempts to fill this void. 402 Thai and non-Thai participants completed questionnaires that displayed texts using serif, sans serif and script fon...
متن کاملOrganic Fonts. Including Aliphatic Font, Ring Font, and Organic Font
This program is designed for a Macintosh 512 or larger, and it works very well with the Macintosh Plus on which I tested it. It will not work on the 128K MacIntosh.

In addition, a set of templates called...
متن کاملFont Selection and Font Composition for Unicode
The integration of the current scripts of the world into a single character encoding standard (Unicode/ISO 10646) poses new challenges to system software and user interface designers, typographers, and font providers. Constructing or designing all-encompassing “Unicode fonts” is not feasible for several reasons in most cases; much more flexible solutions are necessary. The paper analyses the re...
