    Are employers impressed by a big font?
    Arial 11. And what's an "employer"? Is it Latin for something?
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      Garamond is a great font for reading at small sizes. Personally I hate it as my last manager made me do all my work in it and he was a ****.

        I just use Courier. Why change the habits of a lifetime?

          Arial is the easiest to read online. Time new roman is for printed docs, as is courier.

            I have never had any complaints about my big font.

              Fonts like Verdana are easier to read online than Arial - that is what they are for. Arial is for printed docs.

                    3 inches isn't that big, despite what your compassionate ex-gfs said.
                    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                      I use Garamond so I can fit all the gigs I've done onto 2 pages.....
