there's a very good document called 'Communicating or Just Making Pretty Shapes' which you can find somewhere on the web which gives the results of various studies into the way different fonts, layouts, colours, backgrounds etc. affect how much of a document people read, understand and remember. Well worth finding and using. In summary, serif for main text, sans serif for headings, black type, white background.
