guiyoforward · 08-13-2010, 07:42 PM

Dear All,

I am creating my PDFs from word and even when getting a decent screen font size very close to a paper-printed 12 (see PS below for my custom page size) I notice the anti-aliasing with MS Times New Roman i.e., the anti-aliasing does not look good. Has anyone tried other serif fonts? I heard something about block serifs working well, but I don't know which of the standard MS fonts are block serifs.
Suggestions appreaciated!

PS: I am using a custom page size 18.8 x 13.2 cm - I printed a PDF black page and measured the resulting black square on the screen, and that's what I got. It works very well - although a standard A5 size wouldn't be too bad probably.
