Now, a Microsoft font called Calibri could be the key to unlocking whether or not Maryam Nawaz was involved.
Pakistan's Federal Investigations Agency, the country's equivalent of the FBI, discovered that Sharif's daughter Maryam was the sole shareholder of one of two British Virgin Island companies which had invested in high-end London property, described by the agency as "ill-gotten wealth earned through corrupt practices." Opposition figures has accused Sharif of failing to explain how he became so wealthy. Sharif's children were linked to offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands which were then used to purchase expensive property in London, and the Pakistan federal investigation agency believed the properties were bought with laundered money. The company liked Calibri enough to make it the default for Windows Vista in 2007.When Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the daughter of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, was named in the 2016 Panama Papers leak the country's highest court began an investigation into the 43-year-old. That changed in 2000 with Microsoft’s new ClearType technology, which optimized the resolution on LCD screens and made fonts like de Groot’s easier to read. “I had some sketches already, so I adapted those and added these rounded corners to get some design feeling in it.” For a long time, computer displays lacked the pixel density to faithfully render all fonts rounded corners appeared not as an arch but a stair. “I designed it in quite a hurry,” he says. “It’s a relief,” he says.ĭe Groot created Calibri in the early 2000s, as part of a collection of fonts for enhanced screen reading.
It’s the end of an era, but Calibri’s designer, Lucas de Groot, has no qualms about letting his typeface rest for a bit. Actually, five of them: Microsoft announced that it plans to replace Calibri as the default font with one of five new typefaces it released this week. But now there’s a new sans serif in town. It has appeared countless times in unformatted Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and Excel spreadsheets, a typographical reprieve for the decision-paralyzed. For almost 15 years, Calibri has reigned as the default and therefore dominant font choice for Microsoft systems.
