Hmmm…almost exact 15 years after the 2007 MS design patent on Calibri (which had a duration of 15 years) they switch to a new, alternative Office-exclusive font for the next 15 years.

Only to be used ‘freely’ for personal use and again probibited to be bundled with, let’s say, other products like LibreOffice.

It’s all about lock-in and revenue, plain and simple. The same business strategy like Apple with the default San Francisco font and Adobe with the default Minion Pro font. I understand why they do it this way, I just don’t like it.

Memmy seems like a solid choice, very active development. It has been offered to Apple review last week and should appear in the appstore soon.
