Invoice Formatting gone haywire

[David T.]

Insofar as practically NOTHING on Windows is free, it seems to me that using a free font that causes significant user disruption on that platform begs the question.
 
I note that there is another current thread on which a user complains about the Sans font specification on Windows, so it seems to me that choosing this font as the default is not a good solution for the Windows platform.

Except that Arial isn't a free, in any sense, font and cannot be
included in any Linux distro, possibly Mac too.  See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arialfor more information.
