I must differ with you here: replacing the Times provided by Apple with the Adobe screen-font version is a solution to the problem. The Adobe version is *very* readable--as good as bookman, etc. (Believe it or not--I didn't believe it either, until I saw it.) The Adobe version is available from info-mac.
