I think this is the good step taken forward by Google given the bundles of complaints redressed from the publishers. Comic Sans font being typical really makes legibility difficult at times.

Thank goodness for that. Although I did like the changing fonts, worked wonders for my CTR. Now if only google would let us choose our own fonts…
