Oh yes. Some folks have very strange ideas about what looks good. Lots of different fonts, unreadable and/or annoying colors (red on black being one of my least favorite).
When word processors starting replacing typewriters in our offices years ago things got very interesting.
At one extreme you had managers who demanded that only a standard pica font be used so that it would look just like it did when it came from a typewriter. They hung in with that until I showed them how much more readable a doc would be with a nice proportional font.
The other extreme were users who felt if one font was good then 10 fonts in the same document must be 10 times better. Oh yeah, and lets use lots of different sizes too. I saw memos where half the first page was taken up with just the salutation.
There is a reason most books are done with black type on a white background and why most professional writers limit themselves to no more than three fonts in an entire book.
