The switch to Calibri (which is also Microsoft's default font) was made so people with visual impairments could read government documents more easily. But doing something that might help a particular group of people is all woke and DEI and we can't have that. Fuck the visually-impaired, let 'em learn Braille - or will Trump order the removal of the Braille dots from elevator button panels, too? And are they still allowing signing for the deaf at government officials' speeches?

What an absolute loser. Calibri uses a lot less ink than other fonts and is easier to read. kysrsoze Dec 10 #3

I wonder how many less OCR errors occur with Calibri. NTR causes a bunch of them. TheBlackAdder Dec 10 #9
