This is stupid, but also Calibri is stupid, too.

I just don't like it. If we're going to mandate a specific font on government products, make it an accessible one, not just an aesthetic one. Like, one that's designed for heightened legibility. Further, don't make it a platform-dependent font. They didn't pick Helvetica, for instance.
