Who Moved My Flügvåk Cheese?

For 50 years the Ikea catalog has been printed using the Futura typeface.

Catalog readers are up in arms, throwing virtual Swedish meatballs at the furniture marketer by demanding a reprint, signing online petitions, and hoping they'll go back to the Futura. Apparently an Ingåträdstök in Verdana just isn't the same as an Ingåträdstök in Futura.
