It's well known that mixed-case text is more readable than all-upper-case text, the reason being that the variation in height across words gives more information for recognition. Does anyone know of comparable studies of readability of numbers using conventional uniform-height numerals vs old-style numerals (which have, effectively, ascenders and descenders)? -- Dick Dunn rcd@ico.isc.com -or- ico!rcd Boulder, CO (303)449-2870 ...But is it art?
