Download New Fonts
The authors of the Drivers Handbook for the Information
Superhighway have decided we wish to use some specific type-faces
(or fonts) on our web pages to make them look better. You should
have these fonts anyhow, as they are becoming the standard set of
fonts for Internet publishing.
To tell if you need the new fonts, look at the
following section of text:
| This
Might Not Look so Good |
What
it Should Look Like |
Times New Roman (for comparison)
Arial Black
Comic Sans MS / Bold
Georgia / Bold / Italic
/ Bold Italic
Impact
Arial (For comparison)
Trebuchet MS / Bold
/ Italic / Bold Italic
Veranda / Bold / Italic
/ Bold Italic |
 |
