Nice Serif Fonts
Can anybody recommend some nice Serif fonts? Just looking at a document in Word I like (in that order):

Didot
Cochin
Century Schoolbook
Cambria

As I'm getting my PB360 on Monday, I'm just looking for some recommendations for other nice ones to check out.

I'm fond of Gentium http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/p...rsi&id=Gentium
Also Georgia and Garamond

Droid Serif might be of interest? http://www.droidfonts.com/info/droid-serif-fonts/

I experimented with a number of serif fonts when choosing a style for the print version of our book and finally settled on Georgia. It's easy to read, and I like the way it looks.

Another fan of Fontin here (and it's free).....

(you didn't ask about non-serif, but I really like Gill Sans.... good looking on screen and A4 printouts.)
