yes, so wasteful to select a different font in 2025. Real cost-saving measure switching from the evil woke-font calibri to the strong masculine Times New Roman. Thank God Marco Rubio was on the case to set the universe back into alignment with this big-balled move.

Terry Gilliam at his most deranged couldn't dream up this nonsense.

His boss' posts on Truth Social should be in Comic Sans.

Just remember that when the CERN announced they finally could prove the existence of the Higgs boson, they did it using Comic Sans

To be honest, in the official papers they did not use it for either CMS or ATLAS.

If Trump finds out he'll start "truthing" in Comic Sans and expecting a Nobel Prize in Physics.

You know what they always say…never waste a good crisis.

This is our opportunity to tell our friends that neither Times New Roman nor Calibri are very good fonts.

If they’re using Word—and they definitely are—Aptos is a better choice than either.

If they want to look fancy and have a serif in their life, maybe they could try a little Cambria.

But if they have a twinkle in their eye and seem like they want to learn, take a moment to introduce them to the wide and glorious world of Roboto. Tell them about the wonders of medium and light and semi-bold and extra-bold and wide and display and condensed and custom ligatures. Give them a taste of what real office typography could’ve been if Microsoft didn’t absolutely destroy it in the 90’s.

Open their mind. Show them the truth. This is your time.

TIL: if you google Times New Roman, you get Google search results in Times New Roman.

You also get Calibri if you search for it, but not Zapf Dingbats.

Noto Serif would have been a better choice, it is far more readable and is capable of representing all languages in the world.

But then it's bigger, for example to replace Time New Roman 10 it would require Noto Serif 8.5.
