Portable-de-Bruno:~ brunovoisin$ kpsewhich fver8a.pfb

Apart from my never-ending preference for the Lucida fonts, favorites  
of mine currently are, with XeTeX, the Verdana fonts and the  
ChaparralPro fonts (part of Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro, I'm not  
sure). I'm using them through:

\usepackage[cm-default]{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode,xltxtra}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text,Scale=MatchLowercase}

and then either of:

\setromanfont{Verdana}
\setromanfont{ChaparralPro-Regular}

But then also, more and more often, I just go back to the simplicity  
of Computer Modern (or Latin Modern), to forget about all this font  
stuff and concentrate instead on the matter I'm writing.
