A Wisconsin college has found a new way to cut costs with e-mail by changing the font.
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has switched the default font on its e-mail system from Arial to Century Gothic.
It says that while the change sounds minor, it will save money on ink when students print e-mails in the new font.
Diane Blohowiak, the school's director of computing, says the new font uses about 30 percent less ink than the previous one.
That could add up to real savings, since the cost of printer ink works out to about $10,000 (Rs 4.5 lakh) per gallon.
