I do, yes, or anyhow not looking different for the sake of looking different. Fancy fonts get in the way of melding my mind to the author's.

NJ, you are COMPLETELY full of it. Did all those "fancy fonts" interrupt your reading pleasure for the 50 years of reading you did before eBooks? NO, they didn't. Somehow, print designers designed books and laid them out, since the time of Gutenberg, and everybody managed to read them without whingeing about bloody fonts, generally.
I frequently wonder about what sort of world we're creating here, where every wanker thinks that
every single experience has to be hand-tailored for
them. Instead of just taking a damn book and READING IT, which is the intended use.
Sure, seeing 100K words in Comic Sans would be bad. But someone using comic sans, as appalling as that would be, for a title page or Chapter heads, won't kill anyone.
