Anyone else get mad about Calibri and Arial?

Microsoft Word tries to shove their stupid fricking Calibri font down my throat and Google docs does the same with Arial.


What ever happened to Times New Roman? Hopefully Trump fixes this.

I still have to have Times New Roman for all my papers in school or I will lose points.

Arial is such an effeminate font.

I never understood people's disdain for fonts. Just don't make it look like a 14 year old girl typing and keep on going. Saw a handwritten note on a print out that said "Don't use helvetica." Well, WhyTF not?

I almost prefer Comic Sans, at least it isn't pretending to be something it isn't.

Calibri is the stupidest font and if any of the personnel who work for me use it I immediately give them an arse chewing.

Arial is okay in my book though.

It's sad when someone recognizes a font other than comic sans that easily.

Some are pretty easy... all of the TD main frame is in Arial... this post, the OT lounge subject headings, etc.


ETA: Almost all. Our profile info over to the left is Times New Roman it looks like.

EATA: Nope, Calibri... maybe hendo was onto something here...

My OUTLOOK forces me to type in blue font every time I start a new damn email. EVERYTIME

I think someone is messing with me


ETA - Oh and Hendo, Calibri is the go to for me

With you 100%.

I'm also annoyed by Microsoft Word styles

Does anyone use this shite? Yes, I totally want my fricking research paper to have red, size 16 bold headings in Comic Sans and the body in Wingdings

I use TNR but I'd love to see Bookerly get on Word

I'm really hungry and I went to type something in docs and my fricking font was Arial and I had to manually change it to the proper Times New Roman font and it just really pissed me off. I'm going to need an apple or something to get through this morning
