The most popular typeface (trying to limit confusion) in the English-speaking world is probably Helvetica (yech) in sans serif and probably Times Roman (double-yech) in serif. There is a reason why these fonts are built into every Adobe Postscript interpreter. @blowtorch Unfortunately, the fact that every LaserWriter has these fonts has made them twice as popular and ubiquitous. They've reached the saturation point and they are now extremely annoying to look at; they're boring. @blowtorch off Personally, I have a couple of favorites -- I'm very fond of Adobe's new Stempel Garamond face, and I'm looking forward to the other new Garamonds on the way. I like Microgramma for display stuff (so I'm a Trekkie, sue me), and I hope Linotype Centennial is as good as has been promised. -mike "i'm not a typography snob, but i play one on tv" rose
