New Vista and Office 2007 fonts

November 28th, 2006    2 Comments

Microsoft Office 2007 and Vista come with some new Microsoft fonts. These fonts are used throughout Office 2007 – for example, for the Calibri is the new default body font in Word. This blog entry gives details and examples:

I've adopted these fonts as the first-choice fonts for a new WebHelp system I'm currently working on:

Headers: Segoe UI
Body: Calibri
Code/user input: Consolas
Notes: Corbel

    What do you mean by "Notes?"

    I'm using the same system you described, and I'd like to know what is classified as 'notes' in your markup :)

    By Notes I just mean the text within boxes that I generally mark as "Notes" in a help topic - but also sometimes as "Tip" or "Shortcut" etc. These notes provide additional (but skip-able) detail in a topic and it's useful to use a different font to separate them from the main body text.
