Sounds like a perfectly good time to start a page on the wiki.. 

It would be worth producing a font table showing:
- Known good for professional printing (top quality font, prefer these)
- Known good for printing (eg. breaks a RIP but prints ok on a bubblejet)
- Known good for web/presentations (actually loads and renders in Scribus and 
its PDFs ok.. but its a nasty font for printing/RIPing)
- Known bad (send to /dev/null)
