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.
Edit: Source
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?
I think it was Times New Roman before. So they rolled back, just for the sake of getting rid of Inclusion.
Sigh. They should at least select a more notable font. Maybe something representative of their prowess. I vote for Comic Sans MS or Papyrus. Both, imo, great choices.
