I think on this forum, you'll get more people able to recognize fonts. I've done a lot of graphic design and layout work, so I can recognize many fonts. I think you'll find that the norm here, since so many do work with layout and text here.

As far as the serif vs sans serif, I think much of that really depends on the screens. Many people dislike serif'ed fonts on screen, because at lower resolutions and sizes, it makes things harder to make out. On print, you don't have to really deal with pixelation, so you can take advantage of serifs.
