    MF has to use a big font so all the gigs he hasn't been sacked from will fill 2 pages.




    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Helvetica.

              Purely because it's supposed to be easy to read.

              If the IRS uses it for tax forms for the average Yank, I reckon agents shouldn't struggle too much with it

                Nobody likes Verdana.... I see....

                How about century gothic?
                I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                  Who mentioned newspapers?

                  Most CV reading is done online, and verdana is a sans-serif font which was designed to be easy to read on a screen. It is most popular with web designers for main text blocks.

                    You mentioned arial is for printed documents...

                    The most widely-read document is a newspaper.

                      Are you sure ?

                      I thought it was "Dear Homeowner, you could be in with a chance to win the Reader's Digest Lucky 2007 Super-Duper Lucky Draw...."
                      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
