The otherside of the coin...
A lot of bigger companies have programs that they will feed the resumes into - and if you use a funky font (which annoys the hell out of me it's harder to read_) that resume will get rejected - and no one is gonna take the time to key it in m y hand.
Colorer paper and fanciness are ok if you are applying for a creative type job,, and you have a snazzy portfolio to go with it - but for a major company - make you pop out - not your choice of font.
