NickCalibri: the smoking gun of forged documents.
Apparently The Smoking Gun website still exists. Who knew.
Max Leibman@Nickiquote I love this so much. (And I’m even one of those weirdos who LIKES Calibri, at least in so much as it was a step up from the Times New Roman and Arial hegemony).
Aedius Filmania ⚙️🎮🖊️We should create and use as default a new police every year 😅
Chris L@Nickiquote if I had time for leisure I would stick with my old fave Palatino, for paper.
Roadskater, Ph.D.@jayalane @Nickiquote My dissertation feels seen.
@roadskater @Nickiquote I keep going back and forth as to whether your msg means your set your dissertation in Palatino or not? I find it very readable but slightly light in dimmer light. My mom ran a desktop publishing business before it was all electronic and she had these big books just full of font samples. And a light table and nice cutting devices and rulers. And blue pencils.
@jayalane @Nickiquote I think it was set in Palatino. Unfortunately, due to Apple's change in Mac disk drives, I haven't been able to read the original file in like 20 years! So I can't be 100% sure.
If you know someone with a set-up that can read early-mid 1990s Mac variable-speed "floppies", let me know! (At least it isn't on a ZIP disk!)
@roadskater @Nickiquote there is an enournous group of people that maintain that sort of thing on mastodon. #retrocomputing can anyone pull up a 1990s era dissertation from old Mac floppies?
Jamie Booth@jayalane @roadskater @Nickiquote
Geographically speaking, where is the floppy?
Karl Baron@jayalane @Nickiquote And even if you use a font that existed in the right year, just the layout of the text can bust you!
Mighty Orbot@Nickiquote Ah, maybe that explains this policy change: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/trump-times-new-roman-font-return-state-department
Bill@mighty_orbot @Nickiquote I'm astounded this isn't the onion.

su_liam@Nickiquote So the reason the Trump regime want to stop using Calibri isn’t just “woke DEI,” it’s also to avoid tipping people off when they fake evidence.

@Nickiquote @ckape evidence is woke
🐻 John@Nickiquote "...but it's weird that it happened thrice, right?"
@EponymousBosh This is only part of the list!
enthraxxx@Nickiquote Maybe one day, we'll have stories of Aptos being the downfall of fraudsters.
Holy sh!t, could this be a reason for Rubio to have his people revert to Times New Roman?

Always keep an _old_ computer and printer, and an old ream of paper, for forging documents.

Jacqueline@Nickiquote I am a huge roboto fan myself.
Lunar 🛸 ♾@Nickiquote Wonder if the same will happen with Aptos.
Nfoonf@Nickiquote @TauPan why can’t they use Rotis like normal people?
Dietmar Höhmann@Nickiquote now I'm thinking of a novel that starts with burglary in a computer history museum...
