War on Fonts!

TheCatWoman

Trump has told all government depts that they must go back to using Times New Roman fonts, rather than Calibri which was being used, I think this was brought in by Biden as so many people, have problems reading TNR.

Apart from the sheer ridiculousness of this, what is it about different fonts that exercises people so much? I've come across font purists before who go on about how some fonts are some kind of abomination, like comic sans. I like comic sans as a dyslexic person it's the easiest to read, but some people get in a real hissy about it, why?

  • I didn't know there was such a thing as an acceptable font. Our letters at work use Arial because it is easy to read, but the emails use something else. I imagine the font on here might be Arial, but I wouldn't know how to change it.

    I have just reread your post and see it is government departments, which I missed the first time, thinking everyone had to use that and wondered what happened if you didn't. There seem to be so many rules there now. I believe that tourists will have to show their social media history before entering the country. I wonder what happens if you say you don't have any. Will it be like getting credit and they will refuse entry if you can't show any?

    I think they will take it as proof that you're some kind crazy or terrorist, I don't have a smart phone, but a flip top with no internet access, I think that would make me suspicious too, its what criminals use.

    Good job I have no intention of going to America, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let me in.

    I agree that some fonts are, like Gothic are not easy to read and shouldn't be used for formal documents, but the others? If different fonts are all about diversity etc, then he's proving yet again that he's unfit for office. There I definately won't be allowed in now, any posts criticing Trump mean you will be denied entry.
