Hi all,

'University Thinks the Right Font Could Help Save the Earth'
 By ZAC BISSONNETTE Posted 8:53 AM 03/26/10 <www.dailyfinance.com>

The University of Wisconsin - Green Bay .. says that printing out 
documents in Century Gothic, rather than its old font, Arial, uses 30% 
less ink.

The move is part of the school's five-year plan to go green -- and save 
money. Printer ink costs about $10,000 per gallon. 

It's possible that if everyone were to start using Century Gothic instead 
of Arial for all correspondence that is printed, meaningful savings could 
be achieved ..

PS, it seems quite easy to research this .. accurately weigh a sample
of pages printed out with the same content, but, with differing fonts?

Cheers,
Stephen
