The Effect of Font Type on a School’s Ink Cost
Suvir Mirchandani and Peter Pinko (PDF) (via Chris Taylor):
This study identifies fonts that use ink most efficiently and estimates the amount of money a single school and a school district can save on ink by choosing efficient fonts for student handouts. […] Based on the analysis, it was concluded that a switch to Garamond, the most efficient font, would reduce ink consumption by 24%, thereby decreasing environmental damage and saving the school district approximately $21,000 per year.

You may want to read this rebuttal from someone who actually knows about fonts and text.
