I recently changed my mind on a final project to use Georgia instead of Tahoma for a style guide that will be printed. I can't find any immediate examples and I would hope an expert can tell me the best way to lay it out in a fair amount of body copy.
What is the best font size for Georgia in print and how should I lead it?
Thanks in advance!

The best size and leading depend on the column width.

Or the other way around.
Why don't you simply test print different font sizes and column widths?

No time... im being experimental doing some in 2 columns and others in 3s the grid im using is 6 column on 8.5x11... Thanks though, that helps. Rule of about 7 words to a line, right?

no more than 13 words to a line and you are safe. good luck.
