% print:
% By default the thesis has bleed with crop marks in the `BleedBox' of the pdf, some migth find this confusing.
% this option enlarges the `MediaBox' so that the bleed and crop marks are shown by default in the pdf viewer.
% Ask your printing company what they need.

% usearial:
% use Arial as the sans-serif font, as per TUDelft corporate style.
% the alternative is Roboto, which obviously goes together nicely with Roboto Slab.
% differences are listed here: http://www.identifont.com/differences?first=Arial&second=Roboto
% use https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fourier instead of Roboto for a more classic look.
