Encyclopedia > Arial font
It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Arial. (Discuss)

The Arial font was created by Microsoft in the 1980's as a cheap alternative to the popular 'Helvetica' font, used under license by Adobe (the manufacturers of the 'Page Maker' software) from Monotype typographers. It shares similar characteristics to the 'Helvetica' font, to such a degree that under the typical resolution of a computer monitor, the two fonts are nearly indistinguishable. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ... Arial is a font packaged with several Microsoft Corporation applications. ...


The proliferation of Arial in modern PC applications has become so widespread that it is to be regarded, particularly by typographers, as a 'scourge of the 21st century'.
