Thanks Bruce,

I did neglect to mention on-screen fonts, didn't I?

Although they are common now, I use Verdana (sans-serif) and Georgia (serif)
because they were created specifically for on-screen viewing. I know there
are some others now that are designed for on-screen, but I haven't done too
much searching on those yet.

> an old adage among type-setters in Britain....

Hmmm, considering I am from British Columbia that could (in part) explain my
preference for Caslon.

Cheers
