A font for building charts: FF Chartwell

Such a great idea, to use OpenType technology to convert math formulas to actual visualization! Have yet to test it - but thank you very much to my colleague Jim Kynvin for spotting it! Font is made by FontFont: here's the source link.

Here's the praise to Calibri

Source: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/ascender/calibri/ Calibri has been behaving badly, tell us presentation specialists at Slidebean: 'Calibri is one of the ugliest fonts ever invented by mankind, I hold it up there with other design fails such the infamous Comic Sans MS'.

Ouch. After reading an introduction like this the only fonts I want to use now are by all means only Comic Sans and Calibri! I'm even ready to forget my beloved Arial and Times New Roman for a while. (:
