I have noticed that OneNote cuts off the bottom and top few pixel rows of
any font it displays. At least it does when viewing at 50% zoom.
So anyway, I used to use the Veranda font, which I think is the one that
OneNote uses by default. However, since OneNote has that nice "feature"
of cutting off the bottom and top many of the characters I (like the
underscore) use aren't displayed properly. I poked around and found the
Arial Rounded MT Bold font works OK but it is still not great. Many of
the special characters like pi don't display properly.
I normally set up OneNote to use the small grid background and display at
50% zoom. This gives me the best combination of handwriting recognition
and screen real estate. When I write between these lines and later
convert it to text OneNote usually converts my handwriting to between 19
and 20 point font. So I set my default font size to 20 points as well.
This keeps my converted text about the same size as my typed text.
The problem is that this 20 point font is still significantly smaller
than my handwriting. I have tried different fonts and some of them are
much taller than others at what is supposed to be the same font size.
I do not expect OneNote to be fixed or upgraded in quite a long time, if
ever, so I am looking for a work around by finding an appropriate font.
So here is what I am looking for in a font:
* The actual pixel height when set at 20 point should be about the same
height as the small grid in OneNote.
* It should not use the top or bottom one or two rows of pixels so
OneNote won't cut them off.
* It should have as many different math, computer science, and physics
symbols included directly in that font so I don't have to keep going over
to the Symbol font to find what I want. (I know OneNote won't display
full on rational or radical equations but I at least want to be able to
display the basic symbols on one line if necessary.)
