So long, Calibri: Microsoft has settled on a new font for its Office apps - Lemmy for LUS

Is this maybe a ploy to date things again? I can’t remember exactly what it was (I think it was in a Darknet Diaries episode) but there was a court case where a guy came in with a document proving something in his favour. It was a contract or letter from the other side of his case. They managed to prove it was fake because it was in Calibri, Office’s default font, which hadn’t even been invented back when the document was supposedly written.

Amateur. Always use Times New Roman.

On a serious note, it sounds like a transition to fonts that better support scaled 4K and up monitors.

Doubtful it’s a technical decision. That font doesn’t look any better than other fonts on hidpi.
You might be right. Windows at 150% scaling has the fonts looking pretty ok… 🤔
