What I am going to have to find a democratic way of expressing this evening:
Dear My Project Group Member,
The use of Comic Sans is a delicate matter. There are certain circumstances in which this font should be selected. These are:
- never
- never ever
- not in a million years
- well, maybe in a flyer advertising a bake sale, but...
- not the hell in any Powerpoint presentation that I will be associating my name with and on which will be based 30% of my grade in the class
Comic Sans is the tool of the devil. Long live Trebuchet.
Sincerely,
srah

Maybe you should actually use the Trebuchet on her comic sans.
Comic Sans is a necessary evil though. It's the thing that tells me "here is a person I don't want to associate with."
I had a friend once use comic sans, in green no less, in a complaint letter to a company. On the one hand she was smart enough to show it to me to ask me my opinion. On the other hand she didn't want to know my opinion after I saw that.

I have a friend who designs fonts, although they might not be the style you're looking for.
Verdana is nice too. As is Century Gothic. I'm a font nerd.
