British Council Sans Font 13
Sanora Ngueyn
It is a common misconception that serif fonts (e.g., Times New Roman) should be avoided because they are hard to read and that sans serif fonts (e.g., Calibri or Arial) are preferred. Historically, sans serif fonts have been preferred for online works and serif fonts for print works; however, screen resolutions in use today throughout the world can typically accommodate either type of font.
Furthermore, people who use assistive technologies can adjust font settings (e.g., size, typeface, horizontal and vertical spacing) to their preferences for any content that conforms to global accessibility standards. Even people who lack the technical knowledge to adjust their font settings will benefit from font designs that are highly legible, whether serif or sans serif. However, it is important to acknowledge that images of text (such as a picture of a word), whether serif or sans serif, cannot be personalized by such settings; this is why global accessibility standards forbid images of text (except for logos and other situations where meaning would be lost, such as a book about the history of typefaces).
Research supports the use of various fonts for different contexts. For example, there are studies that demonstrate how serif fonts are actually superior to sans serif in many long texts (Arditi & Cho, 2005; Tinker, 1963). And there are studies that support sans serif typefaces as superior for people living with certain disabilities (such as certain visual challenges and those who learn differently; Russell-Minda et al., 2007).
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) set standards for online accessibility. WCAG 2.0 Level AA does not set any rules about typeface or type size. It does not specify which typefaces are better than others. There are effective and ineffective serif fonts, just as there are effective and ineffective sans serif fonts. If everyone were to strictly follow the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) and the American Council of the Blind (ACB) guidelines for typography, all text would be in 12-point Arial black. Fortunately, you have the flexibility to choose from a variety of font types and identify which will best suit your work.
Hi @maxim_k, I have a similar problem in that on my computer our standard office font (Novecentosanswide-Light) doesn't show up. It's fine on everyone else CAD and so are you able to help? We are all running Catalina AutoCad 2020 Mac LT.
>>>>>I have no other copy of the font in font in Font Book
Nevertheless, I am sure that "Novecento sans wide" font has a duplicate installed on your system. Evidence of this is the presence of "Active copy" record at the end of the font path:
There are several font aliases which represent other fonts in order that applications may use similar fonts. The most common aliases are: serif for a font of the serif type (e.g. DejaVu Serif); sans-serif for a font of the sans-serif type (e.g. DejaVu Sans); and monospace for a monospaced font (e.g. DejaVu Sans Mono). However, the fonts which these aliases represent may vary and the relationship is often not shown in font management tools, such as those found in KDE and other desktop environments.
