     Who uses which font for what is a matter of individual preference.  Each
has it's place, but it's largely a matter of aesthetics.  For example, you
wouldn't necessarilly want to write a business letter or a resume' with
something like Zapf Chancery.  Then again, you wouldn't probably want to use
Helvetica for a wedding anouncement.  However many fonts work well in a lot
of different applications, and that's where individual preferences and
aesthetics come in.  You might want to check out a few books on typography for
more on this subject.
