Please a suggestion for the nicest font for a family tree. Not too plain but readable.
Many thanks, Annette

I think you need to choose for yourself from the 100s of choices for your Family Tree as we all have different likes/dislikes etc.
It also depends on who will be reading it i.e. older people with not too good eyesight, is it to be displayed in a frame i.e. a bit more fancy...many things to consider.
Personally for me it depends on who, whether to be framed, colour choice etc. but I quite like Lucida Calligraphy which is not too plain & not too fancy, a happy medium.

Thankyou Annie. I do not think I will be framing it but It will be quite big and I love the fonts used on TV genealogy shows. I know handwritten ones are super but the computer will be fine for me and to unroll the work is exciting.
I have linked my husband's tree back to the Vikings - yes I know it really isn't proven but I was thrilled to go back so far. I will have to give it some thought. But do love all those kings!
Thankyou again, Annette

I love Lucinda Calligraphy, and I set the colour to as close as possible to the dark blue ink I used to use with my fountain pen... It comes out 'just right' when I print on quality paper, and it looks spectacular when I plot it out on my A1 plotter.

That is interesting , JM. I would not have considered a colour other than black but I will try an ink blue.
Yes I do like Lucinda.
Will do some testing. Thankyou,
Annette
