What a complete waste of time and energy.

    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.

    Calibri is easier for those with dyslexia?

    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?

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

    It's because it's got Roman in the name, isn't it?

    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).

    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).

    of course they would pick the most basic bitch of all serif fonts.

    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.

    We should help them look for the old font. Release the Epstein files so we can proofread it for you.
