Scumbag Calibri


So I’ve figured out why Calibri is pretty much my least favorite font ever!

I was typing a draft of an email at work the other day. On the computers there, Microsoft Word’s settings haven’t been changed from their defaults; as such, things are automatically typed up in Calibri.

Gross, I know.

Anyway. Typing a draft of an email. I highlighted a phrase to italicize it and noticed something interesting:

Notice anything? I mean, aside from the italic-ness. Look again:

Mr. High and Mighty Calibri thinks it’s okay to change the lowercase g and lowercase a from double-story to single-story (actual terms) when italicizing.

Oh silly little arrogant fartface font. I knew there was a reason I didn’t like you, apart from your attempted overthrow of the Times New Roman dynasty upon the arrival of Word 2007 and all its tab-happy obnoxiousness.

Screw you! Times New Roman forever!

    That just seems lazy… like whoever invented this font didn’t care about consistency.

    Nothing will ever displace the horror that is comic sans.
