  its ok, as in its a standard web font so all computer should display it properly.

  Regarding readability, some people say verdana is the way to go, but then again, sometimes you just need serifs... and that is ok

  • take a screengrab of this comment, print it out, mount it on foamboard and show it at the meeting, you are welcome– Meeklo1/2

  Will be fine, just needs to be slightly bigger than fonts like verdana and arial.
