Still adapting to Calibri ... I liked arial because it was usually near the top of the font list so it was easy to find, lol
Maybe that's why the new one got renamed to Aptos, ha.
Why? I'm not getting the joke :D
It will be near the top of the list of fonts since it begins with "A". I think that was what they were getting at.
Thank you for getting the joke :-)
Haha big brain time :P
OK, you're the only person who has managed to make me angry hehe :)
Someone actually likes Arial ??!!
Aside from using it to make jokes? It's not bad, a legible sans-serif that renders well on low resolution screens. A lot of discussions about "clean" fonts seem to squabble over minutiae while the important part of being readable seems forgotten.
I agree wholeheartedly, it's readable, but oh so ugly and brutalistic :P
Heyyyyy a fellow Arial fan. The Aptos font feels like the Mac version of Arial.
