It’s no surprise, then, that I’m posting this story. Microsoft’s claims to one of its nice new fonts was today chucked out of the EU internal market’s domain. ‘Parently, Microsoft lifted the face from another designer. Of course, we didn’t see that coming.

It is a nice font, though. For the record, an archive of all the new fonts is still floating around the internet somewhere or other.
