If you chose the second one, you'd be right. NPR's All Things Considered aired a story this afternoon about how the University of Wisconsin is saving THOUSANDS of dollars simply because they changed the default font on their email system from Arial to Century Gothic. You can listen to the story here (it's only about three minutes long)Which of these sentences would use less ink if they were printed?
My work prints a lot of paper everyday so hopefully they will take this serious and at least look into it. The only other thing is that you may want to change the font size to 11 (from 12) in order to prevent items being pushed to a second page because century gothic is a tad bit wider font.
The best part about this simple change...it doesn't cost anything to do!
