It seems that the discussion of typefaces is mostly on Times Roman and variants.

Could someone answer the following questions for me:

1. Are there any computer Granjon fonts? If not why? are the plainer
   Times Roman easier to implement?

2. What do people think of Granjon? (Which was actually not designed by
   Granjon but by Garamond as a memorial to Granjon)

3. Does the "prettyness" of this typeface detract from its readability? 
   I remember reading human factors literature about how plain fonts
   with strong horizontal emphasis in the serif's increase readability?
   Does anyone have any general information on readability of fonts?
