Is there a small style guide as  to what to use  individual fonts  for? Now
that I bought Illustrator, I  also received Garamond, Gill and Copperplate.
In addition, I have  standard Times and Helvetica,  as well as a collection
of PD fonts, including Hamburg and Thomas.

I  always used Times, since  I thought Helvetica was  harder  to read. But,
there must be a better guide to font usage than that.
