"Verdana 10 is the new Arial 11."

Verdana 10 is soooo Office 2003. All of the cool kids are using Calibri now.

Tell me what benefits I get from it, and I'll get excited. Verdana has specific measureable improvements over Arial. Is Calibri a return to the common "more fonts equals better product" retail software world or the early 90s?

Far more readable than Verdana. Read all about it, and the other new ones coming down the line here (http://poynter.org/column.asp?id=47&aid=78683).

(I like Corbel better for plain text, but it looks a bit odd when Bolded.

Ah yes, I saw that previously. I like a good font, but to be honest I just don't get excited about them. Oh well.

Yikes, I'm way behind the times, I have never used Verdana. I usually just go with the default which is still Times New Roman 12 I think.

So what will the default font be in Office 12?
