Hello Warriors:

Here's something I thought was very interesting:

Here's a legal way to print money: change the font

On an individual level, changing fonts might not have a noticable effect but, for large organisations, such as the University of Wisconsin (mentioned in the article), the savings certainly add up.

The article mentions the draw-back of potentially using more paper, but I'm guessing papers is cheaper than ink, so they'll still make savings.

Tommy.

      That's because some fonts that use less ink, including Century Gothic, are also wider. A document that's one page in Arial could extend to a second page if printed in Century Gothic. Blohowiak said her research suggests that ink comprises the main cost of a printout, but the environmental costs of paper are probably higher.
      "Maybe the individual characters use less ink, but if you're using more paper, that's not so green, is it?" said Allan Haley, director of "words and letters" at Monotype Imaging Inc. in Woburn, Mass., which developed Century Gothic.
      Watch out---the tree huggers will be out in full force demonstrating in front of all the pulp mills churning out that evil paper!
