  • Abstract
    Poor legibility is one reason students avoid reading textbooks or printed class material. This paper summarizes legibility recommendations that relate to handouts, textbooks and overhead presentations. The conference presentation, not having space limitations, goes on to show examples of both bad and good material and to illustrate how easy it is to produce more readable material
