 recommendation. While I'm at it, what are some of the good roman/ 
sans/type
 combinations for printed legibility (not on-screen PDFs).


Try Palatino, designed by one of the world's great type designers,  
Herman Zapf, or Hoefler Text, designed by Jonathan Hoefler for Apple.  
In your preamble, put one of these

\usepackage[osf]{mathpazo}
\usepackage[osf]{gtamachoefler}

The [osf] produces oldstyle numerals.
