Papyrus has its place.

The problem with most font usage (as Kevy alluded to) is that most people have absolutely no clue how to use the fonts in their library.

It's kind of like someone who can barely boil water, going into a kitchen to cook a meal and discovering an entire cabinetful of spices. They have absolutely no idea what each one is like, how they work together, how some need to be used in very small quantities, how some work well together or don't, etc.

"Ahh, look, let's add white pepper, cardamon, cinammon, thyme, allspice, sea salt, Chinese mustard, brown sugar, and a quarter cup of this pretty saffron stuff."
