I'm having a font crisis again! I've posted it here, would love your input please!

Hi,

So I've reached the stage of formatting the thesis.

I've written the whole thesis using Calibri, and now I'm torn as to whether:

1) Keep the thesis in Calibri as it is
2) Change the font to Constantia/another font but leave all the tables & figures in Calibri font.

I ideally want to do 2) but I'm not sure if it'll be ok to have the text in one font, and then figures and tables in another font! I can't change the latter it's all been formatted to fit already, and it'd be too much work!

What would you do?

Thanks!

Hi again, which font style are you all using? We have the freedom to choose any and its taking up so much of my time to decide which one to use!

Zutterfly, oh no, I hope you have a speedy recovery! I had very minor surgery and it's taken me few days to recover, you'll need much longer, make sure you get plenty of rest!

I like the idea of 2K from each chapter but some of them I've already bought down from 20K to 12K. I think I'm going to have to move some things into tables or move to appendices. But my appendices is already very long too!

Zutterfly, have you tackled reducing the word count?

I've got to take about 10K and I was wondering if you have any tips?

I would be interested in joining too!

Good luck litphd girl! :)

I've been feeling a bit under the weather too so I decided to work on a job application instead. I love the post, but it has been posted since March, and the post closes for submission in Aug. Is it just me, or is that a bit bizzare?

I think around £400 would be fair.

Hi Dodo,

First of all well done, you've got through your final very tough year.

You've got 5 days to polish your thesis - make those last 5 days count! You'd rather make changes to it now then let examiners suggest changes, which will inevitably be more. Just keep reminding yourself of how it'll feel after 5 days, and give the 5 days the best you can!

Good luck!
