Gene Weingarten says Marco Rubio has banished Calibri typeface for official State Department communications because it's "woke" in comparison to Times New Roman, which is to be used in its place.
"Sans serif Calibri has been shown to be easier to read for people with certain disabilities, such as dyslexia and substandard visual acuity, and people who need assistive technologies such as screen readers and voice-to-text."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"They're joyless. Nothing makes them happy. Nothing even remotely comes near making them happy. And as a result, they treat the world the way that they feel, which is that they are not happy. They don't want other people to be happy. The only thing that actually gives them joy, and i's fleeting, is to hurt other people."
