I guess I was so excited to get new fonts that they looked better than I admit they do now. I'll have to try some others. I guess sans serif choices might turn out better for the body text, since this was supposed to be the best of the serif choices from typekit. I wish they'd open up for everyone so I could show the different types that I tried. Actually, I had read that serif is still good for body text, both on screen and in print, because the serifs help you distinguish every letter. Can't remember when and where I read that.

I'll email you a couple of screenshots. In IE8, the bottom of the dips are cut off (p, g, y, etc.). This is independent of text size. Also, I thought the rule of thumb was to use serifs for body text in print, but sans serif for body text on the screen? Yeah, can’t say I’m impressed either. I’ll email you a couple of screenshots.
