Do you think that the disadvantage of Gill Sans is the length of the descenders and extra leading needs to be specified? I´m thinking to use it to design the Ruskin Gallery´s wayfinding.
Thanks for any possible feedback

Disadvantages to using Gill Sans in Wayfinding
Laura, you might re-write your topic to say something more like: Disadvantages to using Gill Sans in wayfinding?
One disadvantage would be how over-used it is, especially in England and especially in museums in England. :^/ But that might be neither here nor there in comparison to real disadvantages seen by others.
As to your immediate concern about long descenders & leading, the default setting leaves plenty of room.
