The following helpful guidelines for typography are from the BBCi Style Guide:<br />
Body text should not generally be smaller than 24 point<br />
No text should ever be smaller than 18 point in any circumstance<br />
Light text on a dark background is slightly easier to read on screen<br />
Text on screen needs looser leading (greater line spacing) than in print<br />
When technically possible, tracking should be increased by up to 30%<br />
A full screen of text should contain a rough maximum of 90 words<br />
Text should be broken into small chunks that can be read almost instantaneously<br />
Minimum text sizes still apply to graphical text. 24 point should be the general<br />
standard; 18 point the absolute minimum<br />
No more than two typefaces should ever be used at once on screen.<br />
4.2.7 Digital Television<br />
Making digital television a reality requires the cooperation of a variety of<br />
industries and companies, along with the development of many new technical and<br />
production standards. A wide variety of international organizations have contributed to<br />
the standardization of digital TV. Most standards organizations create formal standards<br />
by using specific processes: organizing ideas, discussing the approach, developing draft<br />
standards, voting on all or certain aspects of the standards, and then formally releasing<br />
the completed standard to the general public (O’Driscoll, 5). Some of the best-known<br />
international organizations that are contributing to the standardization of digital television<br />
include:<br />
