Odd question?....

I'm typing a letter to my dad & his wife. They're both old, 68 & 69 & I'm not sure what type of font to use. Does anyone know what type I should use that would be easiest for them to see? Right now I'm using one called "Miriam Fixed" which is almost identical to Courier New.

I said it was an odd question lol
Here's a sample. I'm using a blue that's supposed to mimic blue ink. Would it be better if I just used black, instead?

Any answers would be appreciated, Thanks :)

This font and its color look fine. :smile2

(Why don't you use the standard fonts like Arial, Tahoma, Times or Verdana? They all should be easy to read, too.)

Thanks :) I just don't like standard fonts lol, but I would use them if they were easier to read than this. I'd actually love to use Papyrus lol, because it's my favorite, but I know they'd have a hard time reading that one lol

Times New Roman is one of the most legible text fonts to use in print, while Georgia is a better alternative to Times when it comes to on-screen text.

Thanks :) I might just go ahead & use Times then. I know it should at least be familiar to them because it's everywhere lol.
