Arg! I'm very glad that I don't buy books typeset by your clients... Helvetica
is a terrible font to try and read for more than a page... Of course there ARE
some weird types who think Sans-serif fonts are the way to go (there are
even some people who like that really ugly font that's based on arcs of circles
whose name I forget).

Of course, there are also people who like having six inch spikes driven into
their skulls.
