I'm only using two fonts (as long as I'm not forced to use others):
Courier New for monospace and Bell MT as serif (I hate sans-serif, but
that's a matter of taste. Comic Sans MS is way down on my list, even
among the sans-serif fonts...). Bell MT was with the Microsoft
Publisher, it has letters that are just a *little* special. Example: The
"k" has a slight "~"-like bow in the "\" part of the letter. Only the
numbers are too toyish, anyone knowing a good TTF font editor which
wouldn't cost a fortune? For Windows or Linux.
