http://www.typetester.org is a great resource for making comparisons.

But I will try to put together a simple list of standard fonts and how to optimize them for the best results. Will shoot you an email when it's done.

I'm also interested in this, and in case you don't mind sending it to me too: colin.f.drake -at- gmail

Maybe you should also consider posting it? It seems like many people would appreciate it here!

That's a great resource. It also highlights the futility of specifying alternate font families. I couldn't find any font family combination that looked good side by side using the same size, leading, tracking, etc.

Since there's so many of us interested, can you just submit it to HN and email us the link? I'm sure the resulting discussion would also be helpful.
