Fonts are technology
What fonts do you use and why?

For me, it's fast font for increasing readability and reading speed

Luxury is the default fonts in Postscript.
All you really need in this life is a subset of that—the default fonts from PDF.

fixed, the xterm default, everywhere
ttf fonts literally slow down your terminal
> Fonts are technology
yes
ttf fonts are literally slower to render, fonts shouldn’t run on virtual machines, they literally slow down the software using them

It helps me a lot. Usually I'm a slow reader because my eyes have trouble following the spot I'm reading in the line, especially when looking for the next line without skipping or re-reading the previous line

I think I might have slight dyslexia, but feels like this font is really drilling into my brain.
Might need to actually try out this one.
Not pretty though, that's the downside.

Are you dyslexic OP?

MS Sans Serif traced to TrueType with simple AI-made script that converts the pixels to vector squares.

Not really, though.

I use Comics Sans postunironically.

>>108543725
Yeah I am. But fast font has an opendyslexic variant also, and that helps even better.

Surprisingly, they say that Comic Sans turned out to be perfect for dyslexia.

i think its just for dyslexics

>>108543606
yeah see, this guy obviously has dyslexia
>>
>>108544467
I've heard that for Open Sans, and that it's easier to read long numbers. I'm not dyslexic, so it's hard for me to be sure.

It's definition (ii) and it's a double negative.
Opposite of opposite of literal, or not not literally.
Double negatives are perfectly fine linguistically. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_negative

>>108545800
if it’s not a word, why it works when people use it?
> reads like a word, sounds like a word, works like a word…
unironically, it’s a word
I will be happy when it’s added to the dictionary
yeah, unironically :)

my work requires the cpu to be close to 100% most of the time, so the available performance for myself is often close to a pentium III, yes
