Microsoft kicks Calibri to the curb for Aptos as default font

Okay, so Wiesbaden has a borough called Bierstadt - but the real Bierstadt is Dortmund.

If you want to say Dortmund properly:

  1. The “t” is silent.
  2. When you reach the point where you theoretically would pronounce the “t” if it wasn’t silent, you need to blink your eyes.
  3. Do not pause when you blink.

Is this the right place to bring up what a horrible abomination Roboto Sans is?

I mean, look at it.

ok, but did the Guardian switch from Times or whatever to Helvetica for the article?

No, although they did famously use Helvetica from 1988 to 2005, when they designed their proprietary Guardian Egyptian.
