Is there anybody that has an opinion as to what in publishing are the most popular/used fonts for main body text
 
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
 
Most places I've been use Adobe Garamond for body text, and some Univers for sans serif.
 
Comic Sans, without a doubt.

Alot of the repro houses I've used seem to like changing everything to Courier so that must be quite popular.
