why is it wrong to use fonts? a necessary thread.
(e.g.: ๐•™๐•–๐•๐•๐• , ๐–๐–Š๐–‘๐–‘๐–”, ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ต๐“ต๐“ธ, ๐’‰๐’†๐’๐’๐’, ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น๐—ผ, ๐ก๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ, etc.)
iโ€™ve talked about this a couple of times already, but there& #39;s people that still use them, and hopefully you will stop once you educate yourself on the topic :)
The main reason is that people with visual or motor difficulties use a screen reader/voiceover/talkback to facilitate the use of different devices. Those resources can& #39;t recognize the fonts, which makes it difficult for people to understand what you& #39;re saying.
Here& #39;s an example:
The phrase says โ€œThis is an example of how the screen reader works when you use fonts, so please stop.โ€

But it only recognized โ€œThis is anโ€ โ€œof how theโ€ โ€œworks when youโ€ โ€œso pleaseโ€ since I wasn& #39;t using fonts.
There& #39;s also certain fonts that make reading difficult for dyslexic people.
๐•ฌ/๐•ฐ/๐•บ/๐•ท/๐•ถ/๐•พ/๐–/๐•ณ

do you know which letters are those? A/E/O/L/K/S/V/H
Think that there are other people trying to use social media just like you, and you& #39;re making it more difficult for them.

Also, remember that there are fonts that are not visible in different devices.
Now, if after reading this, you still don& #39;t see why you shouldn& #39;t use fonts, have in mind that the apps you use for them are external to your phone, meaning they aren& #39;t really safe. They can record everything you write, like personal information, passwords, etc.
I know you might think your account looks more aesthetic (which it doesn& #39;t, believe me), but think if that is more important than the things mentioned above.
Now, about symbols (e.g. ยฐ. เญญฬฅโ.*๏ฝฅ๏พŸเซ„ โ—Œ ห–หšโœฆ) it& #39;s okay if you use them since they aren& #39;t a fundamental part of the phrase, so it wouldn& #39;t change the meaning.
end of thread. i hope this helps you understand the issue with fonts and you can stop using them. and if you want to add something, you& #39;re more than welcome!
