+Title: Change font, save the world (and some money)
+Tags: english

+
+<p>Would you like to help the environment and save money at the same
+time, without much sacrifice?  A small step could be to change the
+font you use when printing.</p>
+
+<p>Three years ago,
+<ahref="http://arstechnica.com/business/2010/04/last-year-printer-comparison-website/">Arts
+Techinca</a> reported how the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay
+changed their default front from
+<ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial">Arial</a> to
+<ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_Gothic">Century
+Gothic</a> to save money.  The Century Gothic font uses 30% less toner
+than Arial to print the same text.  In other word, you could cut your
+toner costs by 30% (or actually, increase your toner supply life time
+by 30%, by simply changing the default font used in your prints.</p>
+
+<p>But it is not quite obvious how much one will safe by switching.
+The University of Wisconsis-Green Bay said it used $100,000 per year
+on unk and toner cartridges, according to
+<ahref="http://www.twincities.com/ci_14833097">a report from
+TwinCities.com</a>, and expected to save between $5,000 and $10,000
+per year by asking staff and students to use a different font.  Not
+all PDFs are created interally, and those from external sources will
+still use their "native" font.  Also, the Century Gothic font is
+slightly wider than Arial, and thus might use more sheets of paper to
+print the same text, so the savings depend on the usage.</p>
+
+<p>But it is definitely something to consider, if you want to reduce
+the amount of trash, decrease the amount of toner used in the world
+and save some money in the process.</p>
