    Ugh, use Cambria or Constantia then. These fonts were designed to work well with ClearType (though by now Times New Roman plays well with it too (except, given USGov, presumably some of those machines are still running old ass software))

    Whatever, enjoy your headaches, fascists

      In searching for what cambria looks like, I found an actually interesting and useful feature of google search, which is incredibly rare. When you google “$nameOfFont font” the results page is in that font.

          Doesn’t work for Papyrus, does for Comic Sans.

      Ooh. I’m not like a font nerd, I couldn’t recognize almost any of them. But cambria looks really nice. Why does it look so nice?

        Cambria is a serif font (which helps with readability on printed docs and just feels a bit fancier than the sans-serifs) but is one that was designed with the goal of looking good on screens (and scaling well regardless of pixel density)
