Is a 10 point font big enough to use for small descriptions in a cv? That said, I agree that using Arial in a CV as a graphic designer may be a poor choice, but mainly because many graphic designers have a grudge against it - as you can see from the above comments. |

Is a 10 point font big enough to use for small descriptions in a cv? You are looking at the screen-based rendering of a font that is destined to be printed, and what's more that rendering is heavily hinted (like on a MS Windows system). So I don't think we're in a position to judge the font. Furthermore, Arial despite its reputation is not a "Horrible" font, it's a professionally designed font by a renowned designer. It's also not derived from Helvetica, though its metrics are. Helvetica in similar conditions (heavily hinted on-screen) is not going to fare much better. The real test, however is in how it looks printed. |

Font Identification of Body Text Never said it wasn't helpful. Some comments are very helpful and I'm sure this comment would continue to be helpful as a comment! But this isn't actually intended as an answer to this question, that's all. I presume the distinction between answers and comments should be the same as on other SE sites, no? |

What is this style of text-as-image called? I don't think that one is retro either (even though a lot of the other stuff in that article is). But that's just me! At no point did I say you were wrong - just that it's not the way I think of it. |

What is this style of text-as-image called? Well retro usually refers to something that was trendy a number of decades earlier, whereas I don't think that second one in particular is referencing any particular earlier trend. That sort of typographic play seems very trendy right now, actually, and if I had to pick which decade it came from, I'd say the current one. |

Font Identification of Body Text This is a useful tool but probably should be a comment rather than an answer, as it doesn't attempt to answer the question. |

photoshop 24 bit image showing black pixels in 8 bit mode It's normal to have proof colours and gamut warnings turned OFF, and only turn them on when you're testing specific issues related to differences in colour space between the image's native colour space and the output device/printer. If you are not even doing this and/or have not specifically set up your colour spaces, turning these on is only going to give incorrect/misleading results. By the way, it's normal for the working colour space for an image to be sRGB (sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in Photoshop) as a default, particular when working for the web or desktop. |

photoshop 24 bit image showing black pixels in 8 bit mode When I say gamut issue, I mean that you have enabled proof colours in Photoshop (which should be normally off, and on only to preview) and out of gamut warnings, and you have set up a strange combination of colour spaces in the image itself. This is just a PNG so there would be no way for me to know what settings you had applied to Photoshop and/or the PSD. |

photoshop 24 bit image showing black pixels in 8 bit mode Interesting, the black areas in the screenshot don't appear to be all the one colour, but appear in bands in separate colour. This might slightly further my suspicions that this is a gamut issue, because it looks like it might be happening to certain colours. But I still have no idea if I'm right. It could also be a bug. |
