Chris, I would advise against using an uncommon font, for obvious reasons.
In the body of our policies, we use Palatino Linotype for general text (10 pt), primary headings (16 pt, Small Caps), and secondary headings (11 pt, bold); and Arial 8 in tables (bold for table headers).

We've had a similar situation where the Oregon University System, which provided a central governance structure for the Oregon public universities, dissolved a few years back. We're now in a situation where we're completely overhauling our policy structures, catering them to OSU's needs. That means new processes, policies, definitions, guidance, etc. Also, the university has recently undertaken a new branding campaign which has new requirements for logos and fonts etc. My question-maybe a weird one-is actually about fonts. Has anyone put any thought into which font is best for your policies? Has anyone run into situations where your font isn't compatible with other people's computers or systems. Obviously I've thought more about fonts lately than ever before-normally I pick Calibri and call it a day, but our new branding campaign is recommending Kievit and I'm running into issues as I update our policy template and other docs. Any thoughts on a good font?!
