Typography for the web #5. Exercise #2: Choose the right font, according to your readers

Donna loves what you did for her blog (see exercise #1). However, even though you went ahead with her request to use Verdana for the body text and even though her father says he can read it fine, Donna comes back to you with an issue:

She says that one of her posts got linked to by a few major websites, and she’s been getting tons of emails from random readers essentially saying, “I love your content. I want to keep reading it, but, at least on my screen, it’s really hard to read.”

With your partner, use everything you now know to discuss how you might:

  1. Respond to these readers to probe their concerns
  2. Use new CSS to address their concerns—without affecting Donna’s father’s reading experience
