I saw something on the net a while ago about which typreface Saville would have on his gravestone. I can't remember, can anyone tell me what it was?

Peter Savilles Gravestone
Sandro Filipepi, a skillful guy his friends use to call
"il botticelli" (from "botte", "barrel") because he is fatty
is working on that. It will be cut by Michelangelo.

I happened to be in a graveyard last week and came across this very interesting marker layout, and use of sans serif, from the 1880s. 
Regarding Saville it's News Plantin... I think your alluding to this thread: http://www.typophile.com/forums/messages/30/34764.html
