Sorry, sorry, sorry ... I should not have stirred in the apple basket. How can I make good?

Okay...glad to know I wasn't just overlooking it somehow. The site does look a lot more "clean" than the last time I was here. I just wonder if there's a way to streamline the process of downloading multiple fonts? The thought of having to go through and individually download a large quantity of fonts is overwhelming (especially because I'm still living in the dark ages of dial-up).
Even if there was some sort of basket so you could go through and select fonts to be collected and then download them all at once, that would be very cool...not sure how workable that would be, though. Just a thought.

Sure my friend, but the Kat thinks that is irrelevant. If a resumee is a 300 [not spelled out this time] pages book the only thing that is relevant - and let's talk the shoptalk you ant I know - is that the text is consumable. If it is not, the result is indeed the waste paper basket. Thus, whatever is asked for, in a case like this the type must - MUST - be one that is extremely easy and comfortably to read. Like basically a Century 751 for example. Failing the ease of reading is nothing else as failing to communicate and thus is a useless resumee.
Now you and I - and a lot of others - know that a sans is not the perfect type for running text. For tables fine, for short technical descriptions fine too. But not for page after page after page ... thus?? I can not but advice to use a serif ... or shut up.
So that is why it took me a while to respond. What was asked for may do more damage than good. That is why Tashini Jones advice was so good. That is why I said don't bother too much about the type - bother about the layout. Make it consumable. Or in nowdays speak "fastfood".
Yep, we talk a lot about fonts. But in the end it all boils down to "comunicare necese est".
But then, what does the Kat know about communication? Fails all the time right?
