Vista Fonts
October 2nd, 2007The new fonts included with Windows Vista are called Calibri, Cambria, Candara, Consolas, Constantia, and Corbel, and even though you don’t have Vista you know you want them.
These are the new and improved fully finished versions. Update (March 31, 2008) I was asked to remove my link by someone sounding official, but since you can just install PowerPoint Viewer 2007 and the fonts will be available in your Windows system, I decided to take my links down.

I love the new fonts and use them when I can. In fact, I switch Firefox to display Calibri as my default font on my home computer, and switched the settings so my default font overrides those set by site stylesheets.

It might just be me, but even using Times New Roman on Vista, my documents come out much clearer than usual. Don’t know how or why, but I’ll take it.

Jeff, you are the man. Now I can at least see what Vista users will be seeing on my site. I noticed something interesting, though. On a Mac, these fonts all look small. Then I realized that if my ppi was 96 instead of 72, they looked about right. So maybe MS is also trying to make sites read at the same size across platforms… ? Good for them, if so…
Thanks!!

How do you make these the default system fonts? (Sorry, noob.)

A pity they do not contain the IPA extensions. As a linguist I am in need of a monospaced font with IPA signs.
