Two suggestions (sorry for the late testing):

- The manual could mention the default scale factors used for the  
various sans fonts in the packages gtamacgeorgia and friends. For  
example, I had to browse through t1geoverdana.fd to find out that, in  
the package gtamacgeorgia, the Verdana font is scaled by default to  
0.88, and finally experiment to find out that, in a file of mine, I  
would get similar line and page breaks with Verdana as with Lucida  
Sans, by writing:

	%\usepackage[expert,lucidasmallscale]{lucidabr}
	\usepackage{gtamacgeorgia}
	\usepackage[scale=0.85]{gtamacverdana}

- The documentation doesn't mention that the choice:

	\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

should be accompanied, I think, by:

	\usepackage{textcomp}

to get similar functionality as with:

	\usepackage{texnansi}

I seem to remember that, in the latest iterations of the beta  
version, Thomas and Adam mentioned having created Text Companion  
metrics (ie for TS1 encoding).
