What's wrong with limiting things to Times New Roman and Arial? Just about everyone can handle that and it would get the job done. Also, it makes for a more consistent looking journal. Its also not unreasonable to restrict submissions to some small set of document formats. After all, while we all have our favorites, you can't expect an editor to have every possible file format supported for *your* convenience. Even non-Word processors can usually make a .DOC and .PDF is pretty common too. That seems like a reasonable restriction.
