By the by, how many of you employ installation of new fonts? Is there an advantage to the default set out of the box? If so, which ones would you recommend?

I keep several fonts installed. Two of them (Code 2000 and Arial Unicode MS) are there mainly for handling ebooks with non-Latin character sets used. Otherwise, JSWolf's Charis SIL modified is my main font with DejaVu Serif for books that use Greek and Cyrillic characters that are not in the Charis SIL glyph set. There is also HP's Courier Dark which is handy for those occasions when I want an old style monospace font (computer output, etc.). Other fonts come and go but those 5 are my goto font set.
I have the patch to allow modifying weight/sharpness on all fonts instead of the subset of the factory supplied fonts but find that I seldom use them as Charis SIL and Deja Vu are both modified so the normal font weight is a demi-bold.
