TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
1.) Check with the Marketing department. If they have a company wide
standard, I use it (I usually get points for knowing to ask...)
2.) Check what's been used in the past. If it's looks OK, I stick with
it.
3.) Use some combination of a serif font for body and Sans Serif for
headings. If I'm doing Online Help/web content, I use only sans serif.
Oh - I spent six years in printing a long time ago. I love design and
know fonts. I just don't think they have much bearing on tech writing.
