NB MS Sans Serif is actually a copy of Helvetica specially designed for the menus and windows used by Windows 3.1 to 98.
Can you gently suggest to the author they move into the last couple of decades and use a font that is more appropriate, readable (enjoyable) and widely available? It was never meant to be printed or for reading text in documents. MS Sans Serif is a Windows system font designed to for menus and windows on a screen. I have to wonder why a person is using MS Sans Serif to create a newsletter. MS Sans Serif is just a grid of pixels, so substituting a TrueType font that does not match this grid and can better resize itself, will cause the document to look different. The problem you're likely experiencing is caused by MS Sans Serif being a fixed width (bitmap) font where Microsoft Sans Serif is a flexible (vector) TrueType font. Have you tried substituting Arial or Helvetica rather than Microsoft Sans Serif? Or a "fixed width" version of Arial or Helvetica if you have it? When I open it with Pages I get a warning that MS Sans Serif is missing, and I replace it with Microsoft Sans Serif. If they are such troglodites what happens when they only have old versions of MsWord, or only Windows ME, and monitors that only display 16 colors, which is what I had to face? Or it turns out they have the cheap OEM MsWorks and not MsWord?Īs far as the font goes OSX is extremely tolerant and will accept the font copied from the Windows machines, presuming they have the same version amongst them. It is however absurd to assume that everyone has the NOT free Microsoft Word (Windows version only) on their computers. For a long time it stopped font embedding in. pdfs and encouraged admins to not support it. Microsoft deliberately made life difficult for. I was having these silly debates about having the free Acrobat Reader on PCs 15 years ago. No it is not an admission of defeat on the part of Macs. It isn't a big deal to use LibreOffice, but my tidy mind would like Pages to handle it if possible.

However, you said that there is a possibility that Pages would get the pagination right if it had the correct font, so can I ask again if it is possible to download MS Sans Serif? There are other Microsoft fonts in OSX, so why not this one? I have googled for it without success. This is the kind of problem which helps put people off Macs.

I call it a defeat because my Macs can't handle such a document without third party software or requesting the sender to do something which all the Windows members don't need. I don't feel it is appropriate to tell them about their obligations! Neither the sender nor the members are particularly computer literate. You are right of course, in this day and age PDFs and Adobe Reader should be the norm.īut this is a voluntary organisation where a lot of work is done unpaid by a few people. Maybe I can see it on the senders part thoguh.

You can open in Preview, PC user have to get Adobe reader but they usually already have it on their computers.

You have to ask for a pdf version at least. The reader shouldn't be the one to adjust to the senders restricted view on which format or font to use. My strong view is that the Sender has the obligation to make sure everyone who he/she wants to read the bulletin, should use a format or supply with alternatives, to make sure it can be read. It depends on which features used when creating the document. It might or might not get the pagination wrong.
