Well Karen, it is a strange thing, these fonts. Dutch is just Bitstream's name for their version of Times (or Times New Roman if you like.) Likewise, Swiss is Bitstream's name for Ariel (or Helv, or Helvetica.) The basic glyphs (letter shapes) are not protected. The code to make the letters and the names of the fonts are protected. Bookman; however, is a wide open, easy to read font designed for maximam comprehension. The trouble is that on an RTF document loaded to the Reader it comes out as Dutch as the software substitutes the closest resident font to what you used. The only easy way to get it is to use a PDF file with embedded glyphs.
All of the fonts above are proportional. the "l' takes less space than the 'W". Courier is a mono-spaced font where each character takes the same width. Great for old typewriters and computer programming code. It does not provide the greatest reading experience IMHO.
