[OS X TeX] font appearance

Mon Jun 17 18:08:00 EDT 2002

Hi
I've been toying with a big project...writing out lecture notes for a pretty
content-full course (700powerpoint slides). So, naturally I think of
TeXshop, but now with a critical eye on appearance and readability on the
screen. I've decided that while Computer Modern is really attractive on
paper, it's not so on the screen as rendered in pdf and wonder if anyone has
any suggestions? Any suggestions with URL's to visit would really be
appreciated!

If you promise not to read too carefully, I've spent an hour making a bit of
rambling text to get a sense for myself...regular old HTML looks better, but
of course no math or the printing attractiveness. My working control file is
pasted below...again, a working file and messy with commented out lines.

Thanks...

Ray
