You could use something like Adobe's Source Sans that has a ton of variants: https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/source-sans See the Licensing tab on this page.

Hello Tammy, "Standard" with Windows? I find that Microsoft will make changes to their Windows and Office offerings as they want to, and Adobe tends to supply few and fewer fonts with every product release. For example, Microsoft recently changed ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart This Message Is From an External Sender This message came from outside your organization. ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd Hello Tammy, "Standard" with Windows? I find that Microsoft will make changes to their Windows and Office offerings as they want to, and Adobe tends to supply few and fewer fonts with every product release. For example, Microsoft recently changed the default Office font from Calibri to Aptos. Fonts that come with Windows are not the same as fonts that are supplied when Microsoft Office is installed. One good example of this is "Arial". When some versions of Office were installed, Arial got a "Unicode MS" variant which had many more font glyphs than the original Arial. This would sometimes cause problems when Word documents were shared with users who didn't have the extra fonts installed. I would suggest to specify a font the customer wants, regardless of what Microsoft specifies. This way you/customer can choose which fonts to use, but also determine under which license the fonts are available. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto/about?query=roboto__;!!KwNVnqRv!DYs1ePN8HurXYOPW-pEt8jqcHIAe89n0fW2HEeWZvDJQo3bSWNf6eigcQgkYE9fomFWJ6vAVeB7pM_UIS6nqWxg$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto/about?query=roboto__;!!KwNVnqRv!DYs1ePN8HurXYOPW-pEt8jqcHIAe89n0fW2HEeWZvDJQo3bSWNf6eigcQgkYE9fomFWJ6vAVeB7pM_UIS6nqWxg$> Regards /// Simon BUCH On 21/03/2024 14:02, Tammy Van Boening wrote: > OK all, > I am doing a major overhaul on an existing template for a client.
