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

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 ..
