I wish it was easier to modify stylesheets and make them 'stick' to the documents, so that if you distribute a notebook with a custom stylesheet, the stylesheet will travel with the notebook.

There has got to be something better than Gill Sans. I use Optima, which comes standard on Macs, but which may not on Windows. I also use something besides Arial for text. Everyone should have access to Helvetica, and it is much more aesthetically pleasing.

But it is easy to make s style sheet "stick to" a notebook: from main menu just use Format > Edit Stylesheet, which opens a window "Stye Definitions for....". Then either make your changes there or, instead, open whatever stylesheet you wish to apply, copy everything from the latter, and paste it in place of the single "Default.nb" cell you see in the "Stye Definitions for...." window.

I just note that there is a clear distinction between 1 and I in Text cells, Input cells, and Output cells. The only place they look very similar is in sectioning styles: Title, Chapter, Subchapter, Subtitle, Subsubtitle, Section, Subsection, Subsubsection.

I modified the default stylesheet of Mma version 8 to use LatinModern fonts. It was not easy, as the documentation of stylesheets is obscure. It is difficult to access, because I have to remember its path. At last the document looked looked almost TeX-like. When I started my presentation I realized that the notebook had reverted to the Mma 10 default. Too late to fix on the fly.
