I think non-serif fonts are fine as boldface headlines or figure captions,
but are harder to read in plain text than a serif font.  The only non-serif
font I've seen that I can easily read in large doses is Optima.  The change
to three columns probably encouraged the switch either to a non-serif font or
a smaller pointsize.
