The image is the best part.

Bush: "Courier New12 is teh suk +1."
State Dept: "Times New Roman14 is uber l33t."

I THINK THIS IS FONT DISCRIMINATION AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!!!

I'm going to write my congressman right now!!! And then maybe start some online petitions and stuff!!! Maybe I can get MoveOn.org involved!!

With such an action as this, the only appropriate response is text based smileys. -.-

No, the only correct response can be a nuclear strike on Microsoft.

Why don't they choose a more sensible font? Like Wingdings...

Because it would make them to easy to read?

Honestly, wouldn't it be cool if they had to use exocet, the font for teh ubre g4me 0f....D14BL0 TW0 kek.

Exocet rules. If I was a diplomat and got a diplomatic message, it wouldn't matter what it said, I'd be so impressed with teh sheer l33tness of the font I would support it.

The new font "takes up almost exactly the same area on the page as Courier New 12<snip>
That's bullsh*t. Here (http://www.imageshack.us/files/compare1.jpg)'s a comparison.

Yeah, everyone knows if you want to lengthen a paper, you put it in Courier. Also notice how just about everything is in Arial these days? This new world just isn't friendly to serifs.

Arial looks way too kyrillic. Thatīs the reason they switched it...
