Thanks for all of the replies and great suggestions..
I'm still a little up in the air..
In case any of you are curious, I made a gif file indicating how a bunch of
fonts look when rendered white on black by Photoshop.. It's at
http://members.primary.net/~wmbaum/fonts.gif if you are interested in taking a
peek.. There seems to be quite a difference in the relative sizes of fonts of
the same point size, as well as legibility and the degree to which they look
gray..
