Keep in mind that fonts for logos & brochures & stuff are often not
appropriate fonts for large amounts of text, e.g. a book..  (that said,
any decent serif font is probably okay)

	Sure we do: Bitstream Vera (open source font).  It's defined in
the branding guide.  Of course, the branding guide also says that you
can buy copies of this font at fontshop.com (you can't) :)

	Vera is a bit limited in international character support; DejaVu
(a Vera derivative) does a better job in many cases, and we may want to
consider officially supporting this font in preference to Vera at some
point:

	Landon, 
	Have a peek at:
	http://www.osgeo.org/visibility for logos, etc.  Stick with the
same colours as the logo uses and you can't go wrong.  We don't have
preferred font that I know of.
