@MelissaBearTrix nah, #ComicSans is a bad font in terms of #licensing and it's overuse makes everything written in it impossible to take serious.

  • If you want to make things accessible for heavy cases of #Dyslexia, then #OpenDyslexic is a better alternative.

  • If you want something less obvious, consider #LEXEND which was specifically designed as a high-legibility alternative to New Century Schoolbook.

  • If your problem isn't Dyslexia but the need to read something under adverse conditions, consider #B612 & #B612mono which have been designed for #Airbus as #font for their instrumentation, manuals and checklists as well as anything else in and on an aircraft.

OpenDyslexic

OpenDyslexic is a typeface designed against some common symptoms of dyslexia.

@celeste_42bit I know, because pilots need to be able to operate these under adverse conditions with all lights off, suffering extreme vibrations and even high G-loads in turbulences...

  • And that is good because the workload of flying a plane is exponentially higher than driving on a road and #AviationSafety is fucking important for all the right reasons!

So yeah, they'll mostly do "comfort features" pre- and post-flight and don't replace buttons at all...

  • Even minute things like #Airbus introducing #B612 as the font for their instruments, manuals and writings propably got vigorously tested with like test pilots put on rigs with severe vibration and G-loads...

In a groundbreaking display of font-related melodrama, #Airbus unleashes the #B612 cockpit typeface upon an unsuspecting world. ✈️ Meanwhile, GitHub's got your back with #AI witchcraft, promising to transform your spaghetti code into "intelligent apps" faster than you can say "Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V." 🤖💻

@nekoewen JFC!

Of all the nice #fonts they could've chosen (#B612 / #B612mono, #SunGalantDemi, #LEXEND, #OpenDyslexic ... ) they chose the worst one with the worst #licensing terms...

@byte I love #monospace|d fonts.because I can red them faster.

  • Gotta migrate my website from using #UbuntuMono to #B612mono instead, cuz #B612 is better licensed and technically the superior font!

@edboythinks personally I'm in the process of.migrating from #Ubuntu fonts to #B612 because they are superior yet more permissively licensed.

It's that time of year again: Time to contemplate the possibility of an #asteroid apocalypse - and how we can head it off. A planetary protection proposal by four graduate students has won this year's #Schweickart Prize, named after Apollo 9 astronaut (and asteroid activist) Rusty Schweickart. https://cosmiclog.com/2025/06/26/a-plan-to-manage-asteroid-mining-wins-schweickart-prize/ #B612 #Space #AsteroidDay

The #OS1337 [website](https://os1337.com) has been updated.

- We moved from #UbuntuMono to #B612Mono because the #B612 font family is licensed under SIL OFL and #Ubuntu's fonts have their own licenses.

- Also B612 is a *superior font* given that #Airbus got it designed, tested, and certified for *Civil Aviation Use*, which means it got extensive testing under harsh conditions.

Aesthetically, it's not much different!

- OFC the #Logo is next with the #Font change...
