https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-10/us-state-department-reverts-times-new-roman-font/106127732US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered diplomats to revert to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor Antony Blinken's decision to adopt Calibri a "wasteful" diversity move, according to a leaked internal cable.The department switched to Calibri, a modern sans-serif font, in January 2023, saying it was a more accessible font for people with disabilities because it did not have decorative angular features and was at the time the default in Microsoft products.Some scientific studies have suggested that sans-serif fonts such as Calibri are indeed easier to read for those with certain visual disabilities.However, a cable dated December 9 that was sent to all US diplomatic posts said that typography shaped the professionalism of an official document and that Calibri was informal compared to serif typefaces."To restore decorum and professionalism to the Department's written work products and abolish yet another wasteful DEIA program, the Department is returning to Times New Roman as its standard typeface," the cable said."This formatting standard aligns with the President's One Voice for America's Foreign Relations directive, underscoring the Department's responsibility to present a unified, professional voice in all communications."DEIA, often referred to simply as DEI, stands for diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility, and refers to a range of initiatives intended to make workplace environments more accessible and welcoming to people of all backgrounds.
US President Donald Trump moved quickly after taking office in January to eradicate federal DEI programs and discourage them in the private sector, including by directing the firing of diversity officers at federal agencies and pulling grant funding for a wide range of programs.DEI policies became more widespread in the US after nationwide protests in 2020 against police killings of unarmed black people.However, their adoption has spurred a conservative backlash, with Mr Trump and other critics saying they are discriminatory against white men and have eroded merit-based decision-making.The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
How petty can they get.
>>1464101Petty enough to save tax dollars by not changing the font on everything.
>>1464098It’s ironic that Marco Rubio did that penis joke but this is a small penis decision…
>>1464101Democrats charged him with 90 fake felonies and tried to kill him three times. I don't think he's being petty enough
>>1464107Dude cope harder. They already spent the money in 2023 to change it. This change costs even more money to change it back. Cult of personality weirdos like you have to bend reality around to fit dear leader’s wishes.
>>1464113Trump has been charged with crimes his entire life. Long before he ever ran for political office. He is a career criminal. But now, since he became your maga cult leader, the crimes he has been charged with are fake? Were the crimes he was charged with before he become a politician also fake. Did the dems know he would one day run for office so they precharged him with crimes for his entire life decades before?
>>1464098Now they need to stop this Dystopian society because both the republicans and Democrats are trying to appease the globalists by censoring the Internet and only allowing the usage of stuff that fits “their agenda” (which anons in other forums of 4chan have blindly agreed with).
>>1464117You have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Seek help
>>1464125He's objectively correct lol. The Trump university scam happened long before he ever ran.
>>1464130The fact he announced he's a deranged trump supporter should be a red flag
>>1464116Pink flamingos are gay, and any lawn ornaments this color should be banned. Also we need to capture many male flamingos from the wild, and genetically alter them, to appear dark blue, and then release them back into the wild so that dark blue flamingos become dominant
>>1464113Those assassins were registered Republicans, you can keep repeating a lie but doesnt make it so.
>>1464135Don't forget kirk's killer was a groyper and rightoids are notorious for false flags, like when they murdered Underwood and then tried to blame the left for it.
>>1464098>decorumYou're gonna need to make a few more... sweeping changes if you want to have a snowball's chance in hell of restoring decorum to anything this administration does.
>>1464098Wow so great to see government doing something important
>>1464113The felonies weren't fake though.
>>1464098I'd like to see Fraktur come back into style for official government docs.
>>1464098Fucking good. The fight against Times New Romans is proof of the extent to which the communist left is willing to go in order to erase our WESTERN CULTURAL HERITAGE (we are the new Romans fighting the barbarians). >b...b...but shouldn't the government be focused on the affordability crisis? TRUMP has been quite clear the affordability crisis is FAKE. The economy is BETTER THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN (A++++++). This is what MAGA looks like
>>1464134You do know that the color is from diet, right?
>>1464116It shouldn't cost any money to switch between fonts that are already present.
>>1464227Given how corrupt the trump regime is, they'll find a way to charge tax payers hundreds of millions for it, just like they when they changed the title of department of defense to department of war (crimes)
>>1464228Take your meds
>>1464234Gaslighting doesn't work here.
>>1464227Are you kidding? That's an easy 7 or 8 digit contract for someone's nephew's tech company to come in and change the default in the word processing programs on government computers.
>>1464098How do they keep topping themselves? A fucking FONT is woke and DEI? Jesus fucking christ.
>>1464238Meds don't work here.
>>1464260Yes it was literally designed to be DEI.>But I didn't know that!!!Well, you are retarded slime.But that's not all, it's also a very hated font for some reason and not be me. I literally don't give a fuck.
You have to be a special kind of Snowflake to feel threatened by a font. Protestors should use cursive for their signs, maybe it will cause a few maga to commit suicide.
>>1464269esl
>>1464267Is that because you need to spew what RFK Jr says? Either way, they should go back to easier to read fonts.
>>1464260Yes Fonts are woke and Affordability is woke
>>1464333>AffordabilityCapitalized? Affordability™ must be like Democracy™.
