So apparently I'm one of the few people who actually _likes_ Computer Modern (perhaps because I took Data Structures and Compilers from Knuth back in the day) -- at least on paper. It's less good as a screen font, but so are almost all sans-serif fonts; they make it difficult if not impossible to distinguish "l", "I", and "1". That's lowercase L, uppercase I, and numeral 1, in case you're using one of those.

Great realization about your writing -- that's huge.
