Times Newer Roman is a Font Designed To Make Your Essays Look Longer (theverge.com)
Chaim Gartenberg, writing for The Verge: Times Newer Roman, a font from internet marketing firm MSCHF (which you may remember from the Tabagotchi Chrome extension). Times Newer Roman looks a lot like the go-to academic font, but each character is subtly altered to be 5 to 10 percent wider, making your essays look longer without having to actually make them longer. According to Times Newer Roman's website, a 15-page, single-spaced document in 12 point type only requires 5,833 words, compared to 6,680 for the standard Times New Roman. (That's 847 words you don't need to write, which is more than twice the length of this post!)
Trojan Newer Roman condoms look a lot like regular condoms, but each is subtly altered to make your penis look 5 to 10 percent bigger, without having to actually make it bigger. "Trojan: Rome wasn't built in a day, but it will feel that way."
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Some fields almost everyone used LaTeX, some fields almost everyone uses Word (with third party extensions), some fields there is a mixture.
In the fields I know, most academics use grad students to write their papers.

What kind of sick person would try to trick people into thinking people are reading more than actually are?!
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
The academic fonts are Computer Modern.
Rubbish. In my field we use Comic Sans for our most important discoveries...but that is because we are more interested in the information than the font it is written in.
...of electronic paper. Imagine all those extra virtual pages being needlessly created and clogging up desktop trash cans.
Debate is a form of harassment. Do not question my truth.
You had type? Coddled, pansy-ass wimps the lot of ya! We were still dreaming of a day for a written language, having to stamp figures into the mud on the bank of the river and wait for it to dry while dodging lions and ostriches trying to eat us. And we were happy about it!
Browsing at +1 - no ACs, I ignore their posts. So refreshing!
