Font looks too big on cover page #35

@grinnellm - compared to the 2016 one I sent you. Shouldn't it be Arial (or whatever) and smaller? The inside cover page looks perfect. I don't want to mess up your style file (any more..., ha ha).

grinnellm commented 5 years ago

I have 'published' two tech reports using this style file, so it should be OK. Though, looking at it now with the long title and very long author list, reducing the font might be a good idea. There's pretty minimal checking for tech reports (used to be Bev, but I'm not sure who does it now). I also don't mind changing the font..

andrew-edwards commented 5 years ago

Good to know. Just looks a bit big, but partly due to so much text. If you want to have a go that'd be great. Yes, it was Bev who checked stuff, but I think there is minimal checking now. Good to know your one got through okay.

If we can get away with the current Computer Modern font, which I think we can, I would very much prefer this to Arial/Helvetica! If only, some day, we could convince them to let us use it with Research Documents...

I reduced some of the font on the first page; now it's all Large (the title and bottom two lines "Canadian Technical Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences NNNN", used to be LARGE). I can make it smaller if you'd like?

andrew-edwards commented 5 years ago

Sean - yes, I'm just talking about the cover page (which I presume has to conform to some standards). Agree, I hate the other ones for the main text.

grinnellm commented 5 years ago

I think large is too small (at least, its smaller than other Tech Reports that I've seen). Maybe go back to Large?

duplisea commented 5 years ago

agree, the large font is better than the small

andrew-edwards commented 5 years ago

large looks the same as the EA workshop one (and the others I've seen). Think I prefer that, but will go with the majority..... (currently 2-1 to Large!).

Maybe they're just not so strict now on the rules (thankfully). No big deal.

This is what I have on the cover of my last (2012!) Tech Report with LaTeX:

andrew-edwards commented 5 years ago

Aren't the author names there a bit smaller than the title (which looks good)? I'm thinking the current one is all the same size, which is a bit much with so many authors.

grinnellm commented 5 years ago

Yes, this one the title is LARGE and the authors are Large. How about we do Title (and last two lines "Canadian Technical...") in Large, and the rest large? I just tried it, that looks good (yay compromise!):
