Paulo,

Text appearance is a matter of small differences. Most text is black 
text on a white page, more or less. The art of making that text easy to 
read has been developed within narrow parameters for a few centuries 
now. Some of Knuth's papers contain interesting discussions about this.

A lot depends on what you are laying out. For an invoice, it doesn't 
matter much. For Bruno's book, it does.
