So use standard fonts. What you have to say will be impaired by Ariel? Give me a break. I'm reminded of all the 'research' that went into early half-tone printing (silk-screen) - where ink flows through variable-sized holes punched in a sheet to make newspaper-like pictures. Folks argued about what shape of hole to use (really!) Because square holes would bleed and the ink would make rounder dots on the paper. One guy determined if you put little round holes at the corners of the square holes, the dots were squarer. Why? What possible difference did it make?

That's what I think about fonts. Don't get in the way of reading == win. After that, its squarer dots.
