In addition, may I also suggest Zapfino as a beautiful calligraphy font. In terms of sans serif, Arial (Helvetica) is overly used as well but is versatile. Futura is awesome I would probably switch the Times font with the Palatino family and Baskerville.

isn’t this whole ranking very subjective in itself?

That is not to say, i don’t like the ranking. Well except for slap-on-the-head-what-where-they-thinking Times at #6 and a few others.
