IMO I found that sans-serif is more pleasant to eye (i.e. lesser strain) than Times New Roman on screen. My htmldocs build now uses Google Sans Display and Roboto Mono, though (as web fonts). >=20 >=20 > Have you read "The Psychology of Computer Programming"? > [https://geraldmweinberg.com/Site/Programming_Psychology.html] > The content is very good but (at least in early editions) it was printed > completely using a sans serif font (probably Helvetica).

I hated that part of it. I didn't read it, unfortunately, due to financial constraints. (Oh, and in Indonesia where I live people usually shop things online at Shopee, Tokopedia, and Lazada [my go-to marketplace] instead of Amazon.) >=20 > So I applied this patch and tested it.

I keep the headings on sidebar in sans-serif. Also, the body text is darkened (but not completely black) to give contrast between docs body and sidebar.
