I couldn't find an AL BLANCA font, but I did find AR BLANCA. While I agree that slowing down is good, I don't think making it harder to read helps. Most editors want things in as easy to read a font as possible so they can focus on editing, not figuring out the words.
I actually check those out from my local library on a regular basis.

You're right, I meant AR BLANCA. But you've missed the point a little bit. That's not for the editor. It's for ME. It's to keep me from making a switch between self-editor and reader without realizing it by slowing ME down and making me focus on the words, not the imagery. I have a formatted manuscript for editors, double-spaced and all that. That's not the issue.
