FWIW, Microsoft Office Professional 2007 default's font is Calibri. From
the Wikipedia:

*Calibri* is a humanist sans-serif typeface
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanist_sans-serif_typeface> family, best
known as the new default typeface for the Microsoft Office 2007
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_2007> suite of
applications. It replaces the previous defaults Times New Roman
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_New_Roman> (for Microsoft Word
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Word>) and Arial
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial> (for PowerPoint
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_PowerPoint>, Excel
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel> and Outlook
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Outlook>).
Calibri is one of six new western (Latin, Greek and Cyrillic) ClearType
Collection typefaces shipped with Microsoft
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft> Windows Vista
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista>, and is the first
sans-serif type to be designated the default face for the
word-processing application Microsoft Word
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Word>. Earlier releases of
Microsoft Word have used Times New Roman
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_New_Roman> as the default typeface.
Calibri was designed by Lucas de Groot
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_de_Groot> for Microsoft to take
advantage of Microsoft's ClearType
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClearType> rendering technology. In 2005,
the typeface won an award in the Type System category at the Type
Directors Club's Type Design Competition. It includes characters from
Latin <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet>, Latin extended,
Greek <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet>, and Cyrillic
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic> scripts.
In a survey
<http://psychology.wichita.edu/surl/usabilitynews/81/PersonalityofFonts.htm>
conducted by researchers at Wichita State University
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wichita_State_University>, Calibri was the
most popular font for e-mail, instant messaging and PowerPoint
presentations. It also ranked highly for use in website text. The survey
asked participants to rate images of sample text in various fonts.
