Anyone know why Microsoft switched it's default Font from Times New Roman to Calibri? Today on the Metro I went through an intricate scenario in my head regarding the lobbyists for the Calibri font storming the Microsoft headquarters and having it out with the Times New Roman department.I haven't done the research on this, would be interested in reading it. Here's a cute post about how to change your font back to TNR if you so wish.
I really have a weird obsession with fonts and typefaces. Maybe I should have been an artist?

Yeah, that confused me, too. I am TNR all the way. The "new" MS Word drives me crazy by presuming what I want with these hard-to-change defaults. Grr! If they wanted a sans serif font for the web, why not good ol' Verdana?
Thanks for your post on how to change Calibri to Times New Roman :)
I actually kind like the new font- I'm a sans serif kind of guy.
@Mary - you're welcome!
@Dmbosstone - I didn't post my stance on the changed font but I am totally digging Calibri. It's a nice switch.
I like Calibri much better than Arial
Hi Meggie,
Thanks for the link love... appreciate it! To be honest Calibri has certainly grown on me!
