Font Wars Spread After State Department Replaces Times New Roman with Calibri (wsj.com)

For several years (probably 10!) Calibri was my preferred font. I wouldn't read a Google Doc without converting it.

An unexpected shift occurred this year, and for the last 2 months, I've defaulted to serif fonts, with Spectral being the favourite, and TNR coming in second.


Probably just easier that way since Calibri is the default... I prefer Bookman Old Style and Bahnschrift myself. These days, you can set your browser and eReader to the fonts you want. It's a Burger King world.
