I was only refering to fonts with a polytonic greek range and only
to those which I actually consider suitable for printing -- given that you
know how to avoid the problems. As to the other fonts (Kadmos, New 
Athena Unicode, etc.), they are beyond the pale and should not be used 
at all.

However, the latin fonts you've mentioned in the other thread
(Kaffeesatz, Fontin, Delicious, etc...) are really good. 
They were obviously designed with wordprocessor users in 
mind (the font naming is wrong and doesn't work with 
fontspec.sty, small caps in an individual font, etc.), but
I see no reason why people shouldn't use these fonts.
