Maybe they can compromise and use Georgia. /s
I handle a lot of docs and pdfs from the government, a lot are already Calibri so it's nothing new. >

Calibri is arguably the best choice. TNR was used in newsprint because the strong serifs helped preserve readability at fast press speeds. The typestyle has outlived its purpose. Whereas Calibri is designed to be efficient and readable at small sizes, and is very common already.

Papyrus! >

I'd have to think about storming the capital if this happened. >

No worries, considering a few representatives literally speak Wingdings. Looking at you, Marge. >

Wow, I’ve been trying for years to translate her stuff to English and here it’s been Wingdings all the time!!  Wingdings by the Dingbat for the Right Wingers.   That 100% Qanon code right there. >

The best part about font wars? 

!They're always justified.!<

Thanks, I'll let myself out. >

Republicans: BIDEN CAME FOR OUR GAS STOVES, NOW HE WANTS OUR TIMES NEW ROMAN!!! 😱😱😱 >

Times New Roman exists so old people can feel like they’re still using a type writer.
Calibri is basically Arial lite. It’s…fine.
This would be real news if they were changing to Comic Sans. >

Oh, did the typewriter folk finally leave Courier behind? >

Yes, when the programmer kids took it over, the Courier users decided it was too cool for them. >

Fonts lose their accuracy and need to be recalibriated. >

They probably just didn’t know to make Times New Roman as default every time they opened a new file >

100% this. Did a lot of layout work on government docs and the technological ignorance is widespread. Like, how can you use a program for five hours a day, five days a week for years and have no idea how to use that program? Was constantly mind-blowing. >

Fuck it, comic sans. >

I envision a time, pre-Obama, when this type of headline would be standard fare on these boards, indicative of the political discourse of the time
Thanks rupert! >

But how can we keep feeling like the modern Roman empire without that font?! Oh wait the slow collapse will take care of that.
