Some interesting comments from the article that didn't work out this way in the end:
> Everybody’s favorite face will be Constantia by John Hudson.
> Cambria will be the default font in the next Microsoft Word, taking over the spot long owned by Times.
> I’m not sure how much need there is for a rounded sans [Calibri]
In the end, the new default font in Word 2007 was Calibri, which was surely by far the most used of these new fonts. It was easy to switch to Cambria (and it was the default heading font for a while) so that was fairly well used, while Constantia is essentially unknown.
Let's see whether it will also be the one with the most lasting impact.
It’s duals/mirrors all the way down. Or up.
MacOS went the other direction and removed subpixel rendering entirely, which is partly why low DPI external displays tend to look worse there.
I thought this site being a typography focused site would have a better way to deal with it's still as bad as I remember it.
