OK, point for different people using whatever font they choose to read email.

But still...more often than not, the manuscripts I see are in
(goddamn) Times or something. And what else would the typesetters use,
if not the files provided by the authors?

Granted, this is all from the perspective of one involved in the
editorial-production end of textbook publishing, and has very little
bearing on what looks to be a most excellent t-shirt. Except that
unless it's in Courier, it shouldn't have those spaces. :)
