   @Edent for no reason at all, do you know whether UK government issued computers have the GDS Transport font installed by default?

     @hugh @Edent Oh, that's disappointing. I was wondering if I could use its presence to determine a device is associated with the UK government.

     @ryanc @Edent If it helps, mine (from MoJ) didn't.

     I imagine not, as the font file is rather tightly controlled. You're not supposed to use it on a live service that hasn't gone through the GDS Service Assessment.

     And each department has different suppliers for IT equipment, so things like that wouldn't be standard across the board 😅

     (There are framework contracts like G-Cloud for stuff like Microsoft licencing and AWS, I don't think hardware goes through that)
