Hi- I am planning to publish a white paper in English and write that in
Microsoft Word but eventually create a PDF file to share with others. My
question is which set of fonts I should use for writing this paper - any
recommendation or reference to a good article on this topic will be highly
apprecaited.

If you're not comfortable choosing fonts yourself that you think look
good, why not simply go with the default font? I.e. Times New Roman?
(In 2007 your default is apparently Calibri, which I haven't looked
at.)

Gurmeet,

The modern classic on typography is "The Elements of Typographic Style" by
Robert Bringhurst (1992). It is well worth reading.

Calibri is a sans serif font more akin to Arial than TNR. The serif
equivalent would be Cambria. You can get the new fonts if you install the
2007 compatibility pack

Yuck! I did that, and I have them (though not a list of them), but I
haven't bothered to look at them. (I assume I ought to let them stay
in my Fonts folder in case someone ever sends me a 2007 document, but
no one has yet.)
