Hi,

A REALLY useful article.

Do you think Frutiger could also be included as a suitable squint-free font?

Great article. I’ve linked to it from http://typegeek.blogspot.com with a visual comparison of small versions of Verdana and Minion.

I agree that this is one of the best articles I’ve ever read on using fonts. I’d consider myself a relative novice in typography, and I rarely do anything for print.
