I use PretonSaver home for my printing and it makes my printer use 50% less toner. I can configure that for every print job, but with most documents i'm happy with 50%. the software has a free trial http://www.preton.com this is true, different fonts have different width and therefore different page coverage, i don’t think, however, that the difference can be as high as 30%.

If you have toner/ink cartridges with smart chip it doesn't matter what kind of font you use...you're likely leaving toner in the cartridge anyway because they count the number of pages and when you've hit the chip's predetermined limit, you can't print anymore. A very big waste in my opinion! that may be true on a printer whose toner/ink cartridges do not have smart chips on them.
