@Elizafox personally, I'd use #B612 and/or #LEXEND unstead...
@[email protected] 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. https://opendyslexic.org https://www.lexend.com https://github.com/polarsys/b612

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

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