I'm working on a project that will have scrolling text in sync with spoken word over TV. This is a Bible Reading program and wanted to see some suggestions on what clean font to use and perhaps a good background to make for easy reading. Trying to get the creative juices flowing and thought I could start with this forum. I still have yet to find a sweet font to use for video. Thank you for any input, Mark Hewitt _____________________________ "To God Be The Glory" www.bmius.org www.familyradio.com www.ebiblefellowship.com |

Word of advice, for readability, go with a san serif font. Arial sure isn't exciting but it's easy to read quickly...

Contrast and Point size are also very important - Also, don't forget anti aliasing. While san-serif is good, you cna use a serif font if you will be having a lot of text (and you make it large enough to read in the first place). Possibly have a region on the bogttom of the screen, seperate from the picture/video/graphics and scroll that. _____________________________ DJ Counts (Hundreds+) "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle My Juice: http://video.birdcat.com/djlist.txt (in reply to Shaun C.
