The reason serif fonts were developed was for legibility, especially
with smaller size. Nonetheless, this can be a hard argument to get
across on an intellectual level, so as a variant of what william is
saying, sometimes making up two versions, one in sans, one in serif, so
that people can see for themselves, can do more than any verbal argument
you might make.

In that regard, Linux Libertine fonts (serif) are very attractive, and
totally free.
