It seems like it was just yesterday that Microsoft replaced Arial with Calibri as the default sans serif font in Office. It was actually something like 15 years ago, which to someone of my age doesn't seem like all that long. To the kids at Microsoft, through, it's far too long. So now they "fixed" it.
https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/so-long-calbri-welcome-microsofts-new-default-font-for-its-office-apps-aptosYes, Calibri is being replaced by a new font called Aptos. This statement struck me as indicative of how out of touch the folks at Microsoft are:
After what might have seemed like an eternity, Microsoft has finally decided to switch things up across its Office apps by changing the default font.
Emphasis added. So now 15 years is "an eternity." I think the people at Microsoft need to get out in the real world and ask real people if they give a flying [bleep] what the default font is. Personally, I still use Arial as the default sans serif font.
So why is a post about fonts in Microsoft Office in the Politics discussion area? Because the article ended with this gem:
The company has indicated that the implementation of this change is part of this broader plan that it intends to incorporate into Microsoft 365. Its goal is to make the platform "more expressive and inclusive."
"We can’t wait for Aptos to be readily available since it was crafted to embody the many aspects of the human experience," says Microsoft.
So Microsoft somehow thinks that Calibri isn't "inclusive"? WTF? These people are on crack.
