The end of "typewriter font"

The U.S. State Department has banned Courrier 12 point font from all memos and other printed documents, replacing it with 14-point Times New Roman (it looks "more modern"). Time was when changing fonts meant changing typewriters, but that was then. The use of Courrier has been reduced in most places to the role of giving affect or creating a sense of "being there" at some historic occasion.
