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'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't recognize the fonts, which makes it difficult for people to understand what you're saying.
Here'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't using fonts.
There'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'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't see why you shouldn't use fonts, have in mind that the apps you use for them are external to your phone, meaning they aren'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'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's okay if you use them since they aren't a fundamental part of the phrase, so it wouldn'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're more than welcome!
