No more calibri because it is accessible

Times New Roman was useful because it was a global standard for decades. Fine, I get it's not as clean as other fonts. But I really do not want font choices to be reflective of politics. The Calibri writer ergo becomes the liberal choice; Times New Roman becomes the Republican choice.

We all need to write words. Choose a standard and let's get on with things.


Well, the feds did. Calibri. Because it's accessible. And that was considered a bad thing because republicans don't think people with disabilities should work, leave their homes, thrive, be happy, etc.

It depends on the use-case and the population, as well as which kinds of accessibility you're trying to correct for, which is why these decisions should be left to the designers who, you know, studied how these things work and made the recommendation to switch to Calibri.

The candy-ass pettiness of this Administration has long ago passed into parody. What a joke.

It costs money (taxpayer money) to redesign and reprint everything using this font. It was originally changed for a reason, the idea being to make government documents more accessible. Now it's being changed back out of pure spite. Idk about you, but I don't personally enjoy watching our money be used for these purposes while this same government tells us there's no money for SNAP or healthcare or education.

How is Calibri “wasteful”? If anything, serif fonts use a little extra toner, which adds up over time.

Doesn't Rubio have something better to do with his time? All of these people, they waste more time on trivial matters. They make a joke of their own jobs.

I feel sorry for the people with low vision and other visual visabilities.

However, I do prefer Times New Roman, and any classic font, to Calibri and other sans-serif fonts.

I'll stick to complaining about ICE cruelty and murders in international waters.

For the lack of imagination these idiots just default to undoing anything the previous admin did with no reason other than spiteful hate.

Just lay low ladies.


Is this a Mad Lib? or is this written in Singilsh?

Cruelty is priceless to this admin.


I hope you are also this vociferous about getting the crazy kids out of elementary school and the violent kids out of middle/high school. Millions of normal kids suffer for over a decade. Or else stop talking about this, which seems to be lacking in actual reporting, i.e., short on statistics but an abundance of trigger words in the reporting.

And if this is so significant, why can't anyone remember that seminal moment in 2023 when the original change occurred?


Because the truth is most of us don't know someone who is visually impaired. My good friend's daugher is visually impaired and it makes a big difference.

Times New Roman just looks out of date, like a boomer writing an email.

Next thing they’re going to bring back two spaces after every period because anyone who has been educated since 2000 knows not to use them.

I wonder if this has more to do with machine learning…
