    This is what they spend their time on. Not solving issues. But complaining about fonts. Bro the child poverty rate is up 50%

      Worse than that. They made this decision because it’s easier to read for people with dyslexia. So a waste of time and energy just for the sake of being a dick.

          Yeah, that’s why they considered it a DEI policy. The Biden administration made the shift to Calibri to make things easier to read for people with dyslexia. The Trump admin thinks that inclusion is woke and are are now rolling that policy back. It’s like a cartoon villain level evil.

            I know Calibri is not royalty free, so I thought maybe that was the reason. But checking now, neither is Times New Roman. So, it seems the reason of “be a dick” is holding water tight so far. :facepalm:

            What font was it before Calibri?

              I think it was Times New Roman before. So they rolled back, just for the sake of getting rid of Inclusion.

                Sigh. They should at least select a more notable font. Maybe something representative of their prowess. I vote for Comic Sans MS or Papyrus. Both, imo, great choices.

      It is because Calibri was made with reading inclusion in mind (no thin slanted lines) and the current office actively working to exclude as many people as possible for no obvious reason other than pettiness.

      Although, maybe they want to start writing in latin one day again too, so to exclude even more people (like the old days when only the elite were able to read relevant sources).

    Isn’t it just being petty and vindictive for no reason but hate? Biden brought it in, therefore it’s bad, and people who have difficulty with serif fonts? Well, that’s just DEI wokery, according to this feckless wretch.

    Serif for print media, sans serif for screen media. That said, waste of money even if Calibri is ugly (which the creator of it also said).

        Same, never been a fan of Times New Roman.

        I’m surprised to see all the hate for Calibri. I suppose it’s pretty plain, but it’s got a clean modern design that makes it one of the more easily readable popular fonts.
