Q

Describe Open Type Fonts.

A

Open Type Fonts can contain both the data for fonts to appear on-screen and how they appear after being printed. They also support storage for 65,000 characters.

Q

Describe a Serif Font.

A

Serif is the Latin word for feet. Therefore, Serif fonts are the ones that have little feet on them. They have little leading bits around the letters so that your eyes can read the letters more easily. Serif fonts are widely used for body text because they are considered easier to read than sans-serif fonts in print. They are the preferred typeface for text printed in books, newspapers and magazines.

Q

Describe factors that can affect the legibility of text in an electronic presentation.

A

Factors that may affect the legibility of text include the use of an appropriate font style and size to ensure that the text may be easily read. If the text is too small it could be difficult to read. Also, sans serif fonts in text may be more easily read as the small decorative appendages on serif fonts make them more difficult to read in electronic documents.

Other answers could possibly include:

  • Use of sans serif fonts rather than serif fonts
  • Use of appropriate coloured text to contrast with background
  • Consistency of text style
  • Appropriate font size
