Times is for newspapers, hence the name :-).

I use ITC Garamond Light as the text for the magazine I put together.
I'd say that I much prefer serif faces for running text, and that
furthermore I generally prefer oldstyle faces to modern faces.  How's
this for a 'top four':

	ITC Garamond
	Goudy Old Style
	Palatino
	ITC Galliard

I've been looking carefully at Stone (Adobe's new typeface family that
they developed in house), and I must admit that I like some pieces of
it better than others.  For example, I think the serif italic is
absolutely wonderful, but the serif roman is pretty undistinguished.
Not bad, mind you, but it sort of strikes me as slightly off.  Stone
Sans is running neck-and-neck with Gill Sans for my favorite sans
serif face.  Stone Informal is an interesting idea, but I'm not
convinced yet.
