Mar 31, 2008 #2 jmgalvin Technical User Jan 25, 2005 2,495 US The Times family is, by far, most common in body text. For san serif, the Helvetica family is most common. At one time, the above two made up about 80% of all printed reading material. Using OSX 10.3.9 & 10.4.11 on a G4, G5 & Intel Macbook Upvote 0 Downvote
