How much will it cost to change fonts?

To change tens to hundreds of millions of documents, roughly 50-200M USD.

It’s only for the department of state though, and the previous cost to change to Calibri was about $145,000 over two fiscal years.

that was the cost of additional a11y remediation, likely the direct cost of using a different font/typeface going forward was the time it took for people to read the memo and get used to change the formatting (maybe even set a new default, maybe change templates).

of course simply comparing years without a control we have no way of knowing the effect of the change (well, if we were to look at the previous years at least we could see if this 145K difference was somehow significant or not)

		Thanks for linking that. Sadly way more informative than our traditional outlets.

A dollar a doc? Sounds like a sweet job.
