The Helvetica Neue font that I installed for my presentation is very poorly hinted (if at all) at small sizes like the one's being used. However, Helvetica is super common font that is mentioned in Stylesheets - often explicitly when CSS is designed on a Mac - and Arial on Windows usually steps in as the replacement on Windows. It's a lovely font and I think it worked nicely for my talk and looked great in PowerPoint. Well, what's changed is that I gave a talk at Xamarin Evolve this week, and in preparation, installed Helvetica Neue. What's going on here? What's changed? Doesn't it seem like "What's changed?" is the question we engineer-types ask the most?

French is the city's official language and in 2016 was the main home language of 49.8% of the population, while English was spoken by 22.8% at home, and 18.3% spoke other languages (multi-language responses were excluded from these figures).
