Caros,

Resultados sairam.
Estamos numa lista de espera.
Portanto, outros projetos ter?o prioridade.
Entretanto, devemos providenciar nossa documenta??o o mais cedo poss?vel de
modo a n?o perder a chance
(muitos pesquisadores e respectivos bolsistas desistem ou n?o s?o
suficientemente ageis na apresenta??o das documenta??es).

Estou desapontado, por?m acho que devemos ter f? que "o que pertence ao
homem o bicho n?o come"...

Marconi.

Caros,

Resultados sairam.
Estamos numa lista de espera.
Portanto, outros projetos ter?o prioridade.
Entretanto, devemos providenciar nossa documenta??o o mais cedo poss?vel de
modo a n?o perder a chance
(muitos pesquisadores e respectivos bolsistas desistem ou n?o s?o
suficientemente ageis na apresenta??o das documenta??es).

Estou desapontado, por?m acho que devemos ter f? que "o que pertence ao
homem o bicho n?o come"...

Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to  
contact her.

kind regards,

karen schriver

Members,

I am forwarding an inquiry from BBC reporter Michelle Martin. Michelle  
would like to interview a member or members in the UK about  
instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently,  
would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on  
this message.

Thanks,
Kelli

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find  
out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering  
whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could  
contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet  
about this!

Best Wishes,
Michelle

Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to  
contact her.

kind regards,

Members,

I am forwarding an inquiry from BBC reporter Michelle Martin. Michelle  
would like to interview a member or members in the UK about  
instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently,  
would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on  
this message.

Thanks,

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find  
out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering  
whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could  
contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet  
about this!

Best Wishes,
Michelle

 Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals, and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet about this!

Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals. She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK. If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to contact her.

 Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals, and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet about this!

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals. She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK. If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to contact her.

 Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals, and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet about this!

Best Wishes,

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

would like to interview a member or members in the UK about  
instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently,  
would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on  
this message.

Thanks,

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find  
out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering  
whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could  
contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet  
about this!

Best Wishes,
Michelle

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals. She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK. If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to contact her.

kind regards,

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us?

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to  
contact her.

kind regards,

karen schriver

Members,

I am forwarding an inquiry from BBC reporter Michelle Martin. Michelle  
would like to interview a member or members in the UK about  
instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently,  
would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on  
this message.

Thanks,
Kelli

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find  
out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering  
whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could  
contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet  
about this!

Best Wishes,
Michelle

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to  
contact her.

kind regards,

Members,

I am forwarding an inquiry from BBC reporter Michelle Martin. Michelle  
would like to interview a member or members in the UK about  
instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently,  
would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on  
this message.

Thanks,
Kelli

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find  
out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering  
whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could  
contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet  
about this!

Best Wishes,
Michelle

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to  
contact her.

kind regards,

instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently,  
would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find

whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could  
contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical

ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: UK Technical Writing Educator Needed for BBC interview

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals. She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK. If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to contact her.

kind regards,

Members,

I am forwarding an inquiry from BBC reporter Michelle Martin. Michelle would like to interview a member or members in the UK about instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently, would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on this message.

Thanks,
Kelli

 Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals, and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet about this!

Best Wishes,
Michelle........................................................................................

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to  
contact her.

kind regards,

Members,

I am forwarding an inquiry from BBC reporter Michelle Martin. Michelle  
would like to interview a member or members in the UK about  
instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently,  
would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on  
this message.

Thanks,

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find  
out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering  
whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could  
contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet  
about this!

Best Wishes,
Michelle

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to  
contact her.

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find

whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could  
contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet about this!

Best Wishes,
Michelle........................................................................................

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals. She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK. If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to contact her.

kind regards,

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to  
contact her.

kind regards,

Members,

I am forwarding an inquiry from BBC reporter Michelle Martin. Michelle  
would like to interview a member or members in the UK about  
instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently,  
would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on

Thanks,

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find  
out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering  
whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could  
contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet  
about this!

Best Wishes,

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: UK Technical Writing Educator Needed for BBC interview

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals. She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK. If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to contact her.

kind regards,

karen schriver

Members,

I am forwarding an inquiry from BBC reporter Michelle Martin. Michelle would like to interview a member or members in the UK about instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently, would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on this message.

Thanks,
Kelli

 Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals, and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet about this!

Best Wishes,
Michelle........................................................................................

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to  
contact her.

kind regards,

Members,

I am forwarding an inquiry from BBC reporter Michelle Martin. Michelle  
would like to interview a member or members in the UK about  
instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently,  
would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on  
this message.

Thanks,

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find  
out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering  
whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could  
contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet  
about this!

Best Wishes,
Michelle

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to  
contact her.

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find

Subject: InfoD-Cafe: accessible font research - results
Message-ID: <4F257FF0989F45AA891B9728425A3A63@KatiePC>

Thanks all for your replies over last couple of months.

The user testing survey was carried out via an accessible PDF reply form accessed via my website. If you want to see how this worked please go to www.raincharm.com/survey.php
The form itself provides a far more accessible way to return feedback than anything survey monkey provide (or so my BBC web colleague tells me) so possibly some scope to develop this in the future.

As regards the results these again are all opinion based and not rooted or monitored by any strict or defining test criteria. Of the 4 fonts offered (Trebuchet, Frutiger, Lucida Sans and Verdana) Frutiger was the preferred option followed by Verdana. It seems to me that Trebuchet itself is not a particularly inaccessible font (as noted by Thomas info at userdesign.co.uk and Mark Barratt of textmatters). The issue doesn't seem to be the font itself but what the organisation are willing to commit to and work with as part of their accessibility policy. The disability organisations I consulted as part of the exercise would have preferred all printed and web based information in Arial. Where does this lead us? Also is it acceptable to have a font like Trebuchet used as part of an organisation's logo but have a different font for everyday use? Does the logo by its very nature of being a piece of design exempt itself from the 'rules' of accessibility?

Thoughts welcome and thanks again for your interest.

Hi folks,

I'm passing this on from the Association of Teachers of Technical  
Writing (ATTW) listserv. Someone from the BBC asked the president of  
ATTW about how UK technical writers are trained to work on manuals.  
She would like to interview someone about what's happening in the UK.  
If you think you are an appropriate person, perhaps you might want to  
contact her.

kind regards,

Members,

I am forwarding an inquiry from BBC reporter Michelle Martin. Michelle  
would like to interview a member or members in the UK about  
instruction manuals. If you live or are traveling in the UK currently,  
would you please respond to Michelle directly? I have copied her on  
this message.

Thanks,
Kelli

  Dear Stuart & Kelli,

I am a radio producer with the BBC in the UK and I've just started  
working on a documentary for Radio 4, our main speech channel, about  
instruction manuals. It's about the history of instruction manuals,  
and our relationship with them.

I came across your association on the internet, as I'd like to find  
out more about how technical writers are trained. I was wondering  
whether you have any UK sections, or active members, who I could  
contact as I'm struggling to find useful information on the internet  
about this!

Best Wishes,
Michelle
