There are many fonts to choose from for the book. But the most common fonts are old-fashioned fonts that are easy to read for larger content, such as Times New Roman and Baskerville when creating page layouts.
Remember to use contrasting fonts for the headers. Regarding book printing, it is very important to ensure that all selected fonts are available in the Windows fonts folder, including italics and bold. Because some fonts may not be installed on the computer. As a result, printing documents is more difficult. To avoid the hassle of such matters. Use common book fonts such as Garamond and Times New Roman.
