Your font size doesn’t need to be uniform across your resume. This is the last thing you want and will likely land you in the no pile.” But if you go too small, Lucas says, “the recruiter will be squinting to read your resume. When choosing font sizes, you want to find a balance: “Too large a size and your resume is likely to be more than one page without necessarily having the years of experience to back up that resume length,” Yurovsky says. Once you’ve decided between serif and sans serif, choosing a font comes down to which one looks best to you! But if the top of the T is a single line straight across, you have a sans serif font. To figure out which type of font you’re looking at, check the capital Ts-if the top has short lines hanging down on either side, those lines are serifs. But if you work in higher education or the medical field, a serif font like Georgia would be appropriate. If you want to make your resume look more modern (if, for example, you work in tech) you might choose a sans serif font like Arial or Calibri, and avoid serif fonts like Times New Roman and Georgia, says Muse career coach Debra Boggs. You might want to consider whether a serif or sans serif font is best for you.

“The saying, ‘Dress for the job you want’ applies to font choice too!” Yurovsky says. I'm using two Google fonts, so it should be working.So how do you know which of these more traditional, easy-to-read fonts you should pick? That depends on your personal preference and what you think sends the right message for your resume. I looks like it does, I can choose and add them, but they don't appear in the list. I've also tried it with a docx without the choosen fonts, hoping I could add the fonts when editing the epub.Īnd I can't install the font families. But are still only visible in the Calibre viewer. In the stylesheet, both fonts I use, are mentioned (and again, whether I've embedded them or not during the setup for conversion). Again, whether I've embedded them or not during the setup for conversion.


When I edit my epub in Calibre, there is no mention of fonts on the left side (were all the CSS stuff is shown). So I decided to see what I could do with CSS. Nor does it seem to help if I install the fonts when setting up the conversion in Calibre. It doesn't matter whether or not I choose to embed the fonts I used in my docx or not. Not in Adobe Digital Editions, not in the e-reader on my iPhone. Everything looks fine in the Calibre viewer, even the fonts.īut I only get to see the choosen fonts in the Calibre viewer. The conversion from docx to epub is no problem. I'm having trouble with embedding fonts in Calibre.
