re: Anyone else get mad about Calibri and Arial?

On AIM I set my font to Cooper Black with blue color.

I used to set my font size really small (8 pt or so) in AIM because I thought big fonts were gay/girly.

Arial exclusively at my company. For some reason, Word will randomly turn copied font, taken from an Arial doc and going into an Arial doc, and turn the pasted font into TNR or Calibri.
That and my teams not realizing we are Arial enrage me.

Ariail is good. What most science manuscripts are written in. It's just very universal so when I'm actually typing things I use it. But not good enough for printing. It's just bare bones nothing fancy.
Times New Roman looks too busy to me now that I'm used to Arial. Clumped and busy.
Arial is a sans-serif font
Times New Roman is a serif font so it looks more complicated and can be harder to read
This is the main reason people find switching from TNR to Arial so garish on initial use because it's very linear.
Calibri is awful I hate how that's the new MS default. Apparently it was designed to look better for HD displays where you can see pixelation in Times New Roman.
Garamond is the absolutely GOAT.
one of a handful of scientific approved fonts for manuscripts and tables. So under rated.

Use that shite all the time when I need to print things that look professional.

I use Georgia almost exclusively. I deal with numbers a lot, and I feel like it makes the numbers easier to read.

You can easily fix that.
And I use calibri in emails and TNR on letters, memos, and TPS reports.

Arial 12 is usually my go-to for cereal writings. Otherwise i like to get silly with that Helvetica.

I broke a baby's nose once because someone used Baskerville Old Face. You just don't bring that shite, not in my house.
EDIT: Don't worry, the baby was ugly to start with. I asked the mother why she didn't just keep the placenta instead.

If someone types a document in comic sans I can't take it seriously.
Times new roman (12) for everything and perpetua for fancy documents that get duplicated and handed out. Just because they have a great all caps version that helps everything look uniform with headers and body paragraphs.

I'm just going to say this:
If you're using Calibri, you aren't serious about communication. With the exception of large font size, headings, or use as an insert, same applies if you're using Arial.
If I see Calibri or Arial from someone, I pretty much know that person is a retard, doesn't care about communication, and doesn't give a damn about making a document user-friendly for me or any other reader. Guess how I evaluate that document? Not kindly.
Sans-serif fonts like the above are extremely poor choices for communication. The serifs are very important for letter recognition and greatly affect readability.
Garamond is pretty good.
Best choices are Century Schoolbook or Palatino.
I can't believe no attorneys or especially judges haven't gotten all up in the bid'neth of this topic.
