Only if the output medium has the resolution to handle the detail.  
Computer screens are still vastly inferior with regard to resolution  
to paper printouts in this regard, and will be so for probably  
another five to ten years at least. In the short term, sans serif is  
better to go for smaller type and smaller blocks of copy. (Smaller  
means less than 14px/pt.)
