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.
When you're deciding on a font, you need to consider whether your text
will ultimately be used as a PDF file...
At my former position, the writer before me had chosen Minion as the
font for the manuals. Looked great in print, but when the
powers-that-be decided to convert all the manuals to PDF files, the
text "faded" unless the reader zoomed in.
