  Sure, but as someone who regularly switches between Mac, Windows, and Linux (Manjaro) the fonts feel quite distinctive. This probably has some applications in digital forensics.

    There was that case where a Pakistani politician forged documents using Calibri and it was discovered because the documents supposedly predated Calibri's commercial viability. https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/12/15961354/pakistan-calibri-font-scandal-forged-documents https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/12/15961354/pakistan-calibri...

      This happens a lot. In the early 2000s, the news program 60 Minutes was involved in a major controversy that put its fact-checking practices and the reliability of journalism as a whole in the spotlight. The evidence for their reporting came down to some (now known to be forged) documents purported to contain revelations about a scandal involving George W. Bush during his years in the National Guard. It was a big deal, and it had a huge impact on the public image and career of Dan Rather, who was otherwise widely respected at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killian_documents_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killian_documents_controversy
