I've noted that for documentation using the Quickbook toolchain, we use a serif font (Times Roman?) for the PDF, but a sans serif for the equivalent HTML version.

Is there a reason for this?

Should they not be the same font? (So that they look the same?)

Which do we prefer?

Should we change either or both?

same font! sans serif of course! ;-)

I agree :-) So how about adding a specific font to the jamfile(s) <format>pdf:<xsl:param>title.font.family="Arial" <format>pdf:<xsl:param>body.font.family="Arial" <format>pdf:<xsl:param>monospace.font.family="Arial" Or will this cause trouble with readers lacking Arial font? How about other fonts? Verdana? Or is this better? <format>pdf:<xsl:param>title.font.family="sans-serif" <format>pdf:<xsl:param>body.font.family="sans-serif" <format>pdf:<xsl:param>monospace.font.family="sans-serif" Paul --- Paul A.
