As for "modern" serifs, I too personally prefer the more robust appearance one gets from fonts like Warnock, Minion, Arno, etc. The student I had working with me on the ScalaTeX project totally dropped the ball and did essentially nothing for the entire semester :-/ @mbana: Well, I can certainly see some people’s point that Comic Sans is used too often in inappropriate contexts.

It's obvious that fonts are very subjective, I for one hate Modern Serif mainly due to the stems being so thin, instead I prefer to typeset with Warnock, Minion or Times.
