Ooh, a French Renaissance roman (according to my manual's terminology,
anyway)! I expect it would look lovely in print, but it's really not
the kind of font I'd choose for on-screen display. Well, maybe I
would, but only if the only alternative were a Romantic roman (or a
really ugly Postmodernist font).

So, no, you're not the only one. ;-)
