The Reel Life: Time-traveling typeface edition
13 Jul 2017
Sharif's daughter Maryam submitted a batch of documents that use the font to a team investigating illegal offshore properties. The documents were dated 2006. Since Microsoft didn't make Calibri available for public use until 2007, many have concluded that the documents are forgeries.
The typographical scandal was quickly dubbed "Fontgate" on Pakistani social media, because apparently –gate is the official scandal suffix for the entire world now. American cultural exports are really something.
The investigative team's report does point out that Calibri was developed in 2004, it's hard to figure out why Maryam Nawaz would have been using it on official documents before its public release.
Anyway, it remains to be seen if the alleged forgery will leave Pakistan facing the prospect of a sans-Sharif government.
Get in the fast lane, Grandma, this bingo game is ready to roll!
