Change default font to Century Gothic for 30% ink savings

I agree to have my idea, not my name or information, posted online.:
Yes

Change all default typeset to Century Gothic, which saves 30% more ink than Arial. This would result in millions of dollars in savings for the government, with a very simple change.

    I just read the transcript. This is a great example of outside-the-box thinking. I like it a lot.

    I posted this idea, which could combine nicely with yours.

    I like this idea but I'd also like to see how Century Gothic compares to other common fonts, such as Times New Roman -- which we use for printed materials such as training manuals.

    I just went to the NPR transcript and this actually looks legitimate. At this level, this could save tens of millions of dollars or more. Awesome!

    I gothic actually a nice font? I really like Arial. It won't save ink, if it isn't easy to read.
