Typical problems that can cause your mail to be rejected are as follows:
Capelli-Plain Century-WP
• Characters with incorrect proportions e.g. stretched or condensed typefaces. Overlarge or small characters. • Quality of characters that are poorly printed or defined, either because they have been printed by poor quality printers, low resolution dot matrix printers or because the printer needs maintenance – worn ribbon, low on toner etc. Note: 10 point fonts read consistently better than 12 point fonts. A 12 point in one font may be smaller or larger than a 12 point in another font.
