Comments:

Another thing to consider is that many Windows users have the Office suite or at least MS Word which comes with many fonts preslected for installation. Also look at the fonts used by OpenOffice and other popular opensource editors.

These additional fonts are also good potential candidates for your font-family!

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

One point = 1/72 of an inch
One pica = 12 points
One em = The distance horizontally equal to the type size, in points, you are using. Eg. 1em of 12pt type is 12pt. (Thanks to Joe for correcting me on this.)

A general good rule of thumb is 2-3 alphabets in length, or 52-78 characters (including spaces).

Your leading should increase proportionally to your Measure. Small Measure, less leading. Wide Measure, more leading.

When reversing colour out, eg white text on black, make sure you increase the leading, tracking and decrease your font-weight. This applies to all widths of Measure.
