If you say so kid, but it feels like having a salad at The Keg.

I've never heard of the Garamond font. the Garamond font doesn't seem to be working.

Gary Somerset, of the Government Printing Office, described the work as 'remarkable' but told CNN the office was focused more on switching to digital rather than changing the font.
Suvir has not been deterred however, and hopes his discovery will be adopted.
'I recognize it's difficult to change someone's behavior,' he said. 'I definitely would love to see some actual changes and I'd be happy to go as far as possible to make that change possible.'

He's about to get himself an education. . .
