It's just a click of a button...

And honestly, Palatino (and descendents - both commercial and open source) is a better choice... hell, Libertinus Serif is a better choice. TNR is dumb and it should be excised from the font catalogues of every computer ever.

Comic Sans fits this administration better

"Biden wasted time and money switching fonts and we hate that, so now we will waste an equivalent amount of time and money switching back"

What a moron.

How much was wasted changing maps with "gulf of america" and documents with "department of war". But i guess thats fine cause the cheeto said so.

Everything they do is a projection, its wild, do they just not see it? Are they just wildly obtuse? How did people like that get into these positions?

That reminds me of a joke I heard as a kid..."Did you hear about the idiot who tried to swim across the Atlantic ocean? He was halfway there but got tired so he turned around and swam back!".

I mean I don't know about currents and all that myself, but I can see a world where that makes sense.

I always disliked Times New Roman because it looked old timey and looked like it belonged more on a piece of paper than on a screen.

Well now I'm going to dislike it even harder.

Someone should hack the websites and change everything to Wingdings as retribution

I think Fraktur or Antiqua fits this administration better.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

That makes sense, so did the Times.

[–] ThomasWilliams@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago
