They are excellent fonts. Neither is default across platforms though, nor are they serif fonts... For a sans serif, default font, I like Palatino. Classic, nic

  Palatino is serif?

    Very much serif. I believe Apple used it as their corporate font back in the 1980's.

  (Obviously "sans serif" should say "serif".) I suggest that on any occasion when you're inclined to use Palatino for substantial quantities of text (as opposed to titles, posters, book covers, etc.) you would do better to use Aldus instead. (Aldus is a companion face to Palatino; Zapf's intention was that Palatino is for "display" use -- titles, posters, etc. -- and Aldus is for body-text.)
