!May I suggest, instead, Univers? I personally

	Well, I use Univers a lot---but then again, I got it on a fire sale
with Franklin Gothic and News Gothic.  I sorta think it depends on what
exactly you're going to use them for.....What looks awful as text may work
quite fine as display......


!And a third suggestion: If you want the feel of a sans-serif but don't
!want to sacrifice readability or interest, try one of the square serifs.
!Glypha is one I've been using a lot lately. It has the crisp, no-nonsense
!quality of a sans, but more fun to look at and less intimidating too.

	Hmmmmm......I'll look into this one.....

!Oh, and I cast my vote in favor of the diamond-shaped dots in Goudy. :-)

	Well, I got this on sale, too.......but I agree...a classy font.

	BTW, I tend to use Lucida Bold Italic for heads and display text;
I can't put my finger on it, but that particular font has a boldness and
jauntiness that the regular Lucida Bold and other display fonts I have
can't seem to match.....
