For what it's worth, I usually fax in about Helvetica 13.  Serifs and
small x-heights tend to be hard to read if there's any significant
degradation of the fax image.  There also seems to be a break point
somewhere between 12 and 13 points where the final document retains a
professional look.  It depends on your recipients' tastes and on your
average transmission quality.
