104.0. "Italics hard to read" by CASEY::BURACK (This train is bound for glory) Mon Mar 27 1989 13:59

    HI,
    
    I ran my release and got it to work great for online. I have a comment
    and a question.
    
    1. I think that the italics font is hard to read.
    
    2. Why is a head 4 in the TOC not bolded? It looks out of place.

	1. Italics -- italics are a slanted font and doing slanted or diagonal lines on a low-resolution device (such as a 75-dot-per-inch workstation monitor) results in a jagged effect. The technical term for this is actually 'the jaggies.' 2. There is a much smaller number of font sizes available for the screen than for hardcopy. Also we have smaller margins so indenting must be done sparingly. Head 4's are not bolded in the TOC because I ran out of other ways to designate heirarchy at that level. Mary
