[senco-forum] Comic Sans

'We have recently been told by SLT  that all mail going out of school must 
be in Arial font size 12 . We can downsize to 11 or 10 if it means getting 
the signature on the same page.'

Has anyone asked the SLT what they anticipate happening to the school / 
world if a message were to be sent out in the wrong font or font size? 
(Gasp.)  Do hand-written messages have to be in cursive script?  Is an 
Italic style permitted?

I'd check whether any forthcoming INSET features elocution training if I 
were you.

We really should ask, 'why?' more often.

Hi Everyone

We have recently been told by SLT  that all mail going out of school must be 
in Arial font size 12 . We can downsize to 11 or 10 if it means getting the 
signature on the same page.

For one of my MA module I looked at fonts that students preferred,giving 
them a choice of six fonts the majority went for Arial with surprisingly 
Times New Roman in second place and comic sans next favourite. Reading was 
also more fluent with the Arial than with any other font .

I personally like Arial over Comic Sans.
