And while unsupported, other OSes may have their own font choices, not that explicit haiku support is a given | |

| May 5, 2021 at 17:22 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | Also, what about users who choose to run older builds of Windows 10, such as the LTSC branch or simply an older release build? I'm still running 1909 on my laptop (and have the Education edition so it's still supported). | |
| May 5, 2021 at 17:21 | comment | added | Cave Johnson | @SonictheAnonymousHedgehog hmm that article says "Microsoft has commissioned five new fonts, one of which will replace Calibri as the default font to be used in Windows, Office and more" and "Calibri went on to be Microsoft's default font everywhere", indicating it's not just for office. | |
| May 5, 2021 at 17:20 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | To quote from the article (emphasis added): Microsoft has commissioned five new fonts as potential replacements for Calibri. | |
| May 5, 2021 at 17:19 | comment | added | Kit | I'm not following. I don't see Calibri mentioned anywhere. My thoughts are if you are going for a Windows system font for browsers on WIndows, at some point, they may want to look at those (around 2022). | |
| May 5, 2021 at 17:12 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | The article isn't talking about replacing Segoe UI, the font in user interfaces, but Calibri, the font used in Office. Don't see a need to change here. | |
