Hey!  Why is everyone picking on Avant Garde?  I happen to like it a lot,
even though I will admit that I never use it for any documents longer than
a page.  However, my consulting company's logo looks quite good in Avant
Garde...

For longer documents, I use a mixture of Helvetica and CG Omega (does anyone
else out there use Omega?) for sans serif, and either Times, Palatino or
Century Schoolbook for the serif font.  I haven't found a serif font I 'd
*really* like a lot; the Stone Serif looks good, but I can't spend any more
money on fonts right now...
