Hey, the entire internet will warn you off from using Papyrus; you’ve got no one to blame but yourself.

Imaginary? Everybody knows using Papyrus is a real sin.
Note that at least one major edition of Ballard’s Empire of the Sun uses Papyrus (http://pics.cdn.librarything.com/picsizes/4f/52/4f522b9384a8b165979752b5641444341587343.jpg) – albeit with the cap baselines tinkered with. Make of that what you will.
But John here also seems keen on pruning the descenders off the letter y.
Besides misuse, objections to Papyrus have included the capitals descending below the base line and the kern values built into certain capital/lowercase letter pairs (like Er and Tr). I have heard of variations on Papyrus designed to overcome those objections.
Aspiring authors if your tempted to use Papyrus for your cover, just say no!
“Why didn’t we know?” Know what? We’re talking imaginary, right? How on earth could you know something that’s imaginary?
