Wait Switzerland is named after a font?

The font was named after the country. It was designed in 1957 in Münchenstein near Basel, Switzerland.

That's not right because otherwise Comic Sans would be named America.

Home of the dreaded Helvetica Scenario.

And that's why I call it Chwitzerland

Yes, the romans named them that ironically to make fun of there illiteracy

The reason is to avoid favoring any one of the four official languages by deriving the code from a neutral, fifth language.

Fucking Latin and their over sized naming conventions.

That’s also how you avoid circular dependencies.

I thought it was because in Switzerland they spell it Schwitzerland

Crazy the Romans named it after a font.

I get it. They squatted .ch so China had to go with .cn

No, we spell it "Schweiz"

This is also why their currency is abbreviated CHF.

OpenSans ftw. It's basically like Helvetica, but copyleft
