From my personal experience I strongly disagree with
this. I side with the
various research studies which show that whilst serifed fonts
provide
better readability on paper, sans-serif is more readable on screen.
In addition, typefances with metrics that depart considerably from the norm
(such as verdana) are best avoided. (My personal favourite is Trebuchet,
which I use for nearly everything).
Perhaps the best solution is that font-family preference should be left
entirely to the user?
