China Youth Daily Client, Beijing, April 15th (China Youth Daily and China Youth Net reporter Zhao Qi) According to Interfax, TASS, etc. The media reported on April 14 local time that the American company Monotype, which owns the intellectual property rights of Times New Roman (New Roman), Arial, Verdana (Vedana) and other fonts, has recently suspended commercial cooperation with Russia. individual users no longer have the right to use the company's font library.

A representative of Monar told ITAR-Tassar: "In view of the current economic sanctions imposed on Russia by many countries and the tense relationship between Russia and some countries, we At present, we will not continue to conduct commercial cooperation with Russia. But we will track the progress of the situation and adjust our work plan in time."
Russian "Izvestia" reported that since at least April 11, Russian users have been unable to access the font library of the Monotype website. In Russia, the Monotype website can still be logged in normally, but when a user tries to open a page with a font directory, the website will automatically prompt "Access request is denied"; if the login address is converted using a VPN, the page can be opened normally.
Times New Roman has a long history of use. Because of its well-regulated, flat and stable classic appearance, it was adopted by the British "Times" at the beginning of its design in 1932, and it was believed that it "improved readability and saved more layout space". It is currently also used in official documents of the US State Department and the Russian Ministry of Defense. Before 2007, Microsoft operating systems also used New Roman as the default font.
"Typeface sanctions" sounds ridiculous, but it will indeed bring unexpected negative effects to Russian students, writers and other people. Xiao Zhang, who is studying for a Ph.D. , into a miserable mess of gibberish and wandering Kirill letters."
But there seems to be a way. As early as 2016, the local Russian office software "My Office" provided users with the domestic font "XO_Fonts" that can replace "New Roman" and other fonts. This font can accurately and clearly present documents previously compiled with other fonts.
In order to solve the problem in the long run, Sergey Bobhrishev, commercial director of Russian computer font company ParaType, suggested that important national documents should choose fonts that are more suitable for their mother tongue. As an alternative to the "New Roman" font, Bobishev recommends Russian fonts such as PT Astra, PT Astra Sans and PT Astra Fact to users. "Although 'New Roman' is a beautiful serif font, the Kirill alphabet rendered using it cannot be compared to Russian fonts, either in artistic quality or technical performance," he said.
