I'm not sure about that, but it's not a problem because I happen to work opposite an expert on this subject, so I'll just ask.

On the subject of fonts, Helvetica > all

Is Helvetica the one you have to buy? I've read articles about it, OK only BBC News stuff, but its meant to be pretty good. Should probably get a copy of it some time.

It's been about 3 years since I was involved in the education sector, but that's what we were being told at the time by Learning Support / Special Needs.

*shrug* it could have changed in the intervening time.

I try and just stick with Arial, the other people in my office still can't see the problem with using comic sans when sending letters out

I had an email from a PR firm earlier that was in Comic Sans.
Made me think of this thread

Received an e-mail from a resident, this morning, which was in Comic Sans...

Suffice to say, I didn't read it

If you're going to write in Comic Sans you may as well put *LOL* at the end of every sentence.
