However, most people are very much used to Times Roman (and its clones, such as Times New Roman) because it is the most common serif font today, so you won't go far wrong if you use it.
Yes you will. It's the most common because it's the Microsoft default. Period. Typefaces have subtle and subconscious effects on the reader. Pick a typeface that implies professionalism (if that's the impression you want to make) and use that. My default typeface is Palatino. It's a combination of traditional and modern and always evokes a positive response. Rich -- Richard B.
