Question for the lecturers in the group: PowerPoint (1 Viewer)

[Dre]

Arial is the default font. What is the smallest font (32 being the default size) you would use for a slide? Thanks

definately not an expert on this, but i'd think you would have to consider the size of your room it's going to be in, and how big of a screen you're going to be using.
think most just make it clear, when looking at on a normal screen.

IF you can get ClearView Font, you might want to look into that one.
they started switching over roadsigns to using it, in order to being more legible.
It's not one of the installed fonts, you have to purchase it.

Good point and thanks. It is a large projection screen (probably about 5ft x 7ft) in a room that seats 30 folding chairs.

Wife just got done with a powerpoint and 25 min speech for her masters class. They were in a large classroom and had about 40 students and all. She said that she would go not less than the 18 font. Easy to read without having to really try to read it, if that makes sense.

That makes perfect sense and wa I was looking for. I do not think I will have to go less than 24, so I think that should be great. Thanks!
