Avatar was pretty immersive! And they just did Select-All and chose Papyrus!

They updated it for the sequel, and one example doesn't nullify thousands of years of design.

But to go down that path from a logical standpoint... Papyrus isn't on my computer (OSX) for whatever reason, and it doesn't come on Linux. Papyrus isn't a free, public font... it's licensed by its owner (ITC), so the only reason you can use it on your computer is because someone is paying a license for you to see it.

There are literally thousands of free font out there available for download.

I don't have a strong opinion here. I was only making a silly reference to the SNL skit :)
