Why didn't they fax it back and forth a few times as well, just for good measure?

it's easier to mandate font than to excise all processes within the fed bureaucracy that result in these.
images being digital have no bearing on OCR ability

Images: use the original, which is a digital text document and not an image.
Unless they are making documents on typewriters. And in those cases neither Biden or Trump font is an option.

A massive paper producer like the government shouldn't adopt their type setting to people who are using technology wrongly.
