Font help

[Sanjay Govindjee]

Thanks for the suggestions.  I will also look in the files and in the 
typeset book to see how things match up with the different fonts and 
that should give me a decent idea of what each font is supposed to look 
like.    Most of your suggestions look reasonable from what I have been 
able to figure out.
