When would you NOT use a SANS Seriff font?

Easy, when the customer spec requires serif.
At one time, my clients mostly were Navy agencies who wanted
15071H and 38784-compliant (or more often TMCR or [S]CRDL
compliant) documents ... and no ''screwing'' around (you
have to turn the threaded fastener cw/ccw).
Rule of thumb from j-days: sans for heds, cutlines
(captions); serif for body text (except sometimes pull
quotes and leed grafs).
