Fonts and zoom utilities (Re: [WEB4LIB] Re: Web/ADA/uh oh...)

>symptomology. Use sans serif fonting as large

Showing me ignorance but why would sans serif be easier to read than say
Arial?  I find Arial to be crisp and clean, and easier to read than Times,
though the spacing betwix words is not as good as Times.  Anywho, I'm
curious as to the theory behind typography, as to what is most readable and
which is least.

>sizing you can add.

And many of them are free, I'm evaluating several to see which ones to put
on our workstations:
