  Nice suggestions from NS. I too wonder why you want something as close as possible. But I don't blame you for wanting something different. A OS bundled default serif with roots in the 70s is rarely a good idea.

  See also Farnham for something with a little more sparkle and flavor:

  Why can't you just use Bookman?

  Cheltenham looks nice too, thanks Chimp.

  Mr Trivia, you know the Bawjaws font is only for special spit-roast invites.
