well, i imagine that depends on the type-size you choose though, right ? and that is sort of my point ; the display is mutable, so with tricky layouts like full-justification you cannot be sure of a good result purely on luck, whereas ragged right edge is easy to read and much more accomodating of modifications to type size / line length / etc.

i think the research is nog conclusive on the question if serif or san-serif is more readable. 160dpi is so low that you have to choose a suitable font (300dpi is also low).
300dpi is low ??? what do you consider high ???? i ask that in all sincerity ; when i treat an image for a print job, i work in 300dpi (this is called "high resolution" by people who work in graphism or printing) ; there is no point in going higher, because the printer cannot do it and it will make no difference in the end result. at 300dpi, the individual dots of the printed image are completely invisible to the naked eye and you need a pretty good magnifying glass to see them.
