	Since owners of the Adobe Type Manager for the Mac will
apparently soon be getting a special offer of one Adobe typeface for a
cheap price, I thought now might be a good time to start a discussion of
which is your favorite typeface.  I'd like to suggest owners of one of
the Adobe typefaces beyond the LW+ set post a note about what they like
about it and why, and what they use it for.  I think we should pay
particular attention to how they look at 300dpi resolution.

	To start things off, I write a lot of mathematics. For a text
face people have recommended New Baskerville and Lucida. Any
recommendations?  Garamond is also trendy, but is rumored to lose its
flavor at 300dpi.  Any experience out there?
