RE: fonts fonts and fonts

["White, George" <WhiteG@mar.dfo-mpo.gc.ca>]

fonts:

We use Y&Y's Lucida family for one series of reports. In the past we have
used 
mathtime for documents that specified Times-Roman for the body, but next
time 
we will probably want to use the txr fonts.  Since we are a government
institution,
some documents that become part of the permanent record must use only the
Adobe base
fonts to generate PDF (the theory being that someone will be able to figure
out how 
print such files in in 200 years -- if we can't avoid using a symbol that
isn't in 
the base fonts we use the outline path).  

We sometimes use sans fonts for posters and slide presentations.

Since the real work is done by students, we try to provide a "free" TeX
environment
for writing dissertations and reports so students won't be tempted to take
away copies
of licensed fonts and so they will be able to use the same TeX environment
wherever
they end up working.  This has meant using Belleek instead of Mathtime, but
"real soon 
now" they will be using txr, pxr, and/or mathpazo. 

encodings:

Usually LY1, but we frequently get sections of documents contributed by
outside 
agencies that can use almost anything found in one of the TeX distributions.

[...]
How many of you use fonts other that cmr and what fonts? In what
encodings?
In what combinations?
