Marco Rubio bans Calibri font at State Department for being too DEI

techcrunch.com Marco Rubio bans Calibri font at State Department for being too DEI | TechCrunch

Calibri, which could make documents easier to read for the vision impaired, was apparently installed in 2023 by the department’s then-DEI office. Rubio’s memo has designated Times New Roman as his tenure’s official font, stating it will “restore decorum and professionalism” to documents.

"Unlike you woke snowflakes I use Times New Roman"
- he should use Comic Sans.
  
  It's a good font. It doesn't impose style, it's easily readable. I'd use it if there were a version with 1) Cyrillic support, 2) monospace variant, 3) not too bold in standard weight.
  
  monospace variant
  Apparently there is (free) Comic Mono, but I find it worse than (paid) Comic Code, the latter IMHO looking more like original Comic Sans.
  ...yes, I bought this stupid font and actually use it in Windows Terminal, PuTTY and VS Code.
  
  you paid for it might as well use it
  
  No Cyrillic.
  
  You forgot to disengage your safety, comerade.
