why fonts aren't "aesthetic" and "fancy"
fonts are used to "spice up" one's profile in order to make it "aesthetic" and stand out in a way. while yes, it does stand out, it makes the profile unreadable for screenreaders and just hard to read in general. an example of this is this tweet, where someone uses a text to speech website to show how a screenreader would pick up said fonts.
below, you will see fonts you may commonly see:
- π£π¬π«π±π°
- πππππ
- π―πΈπ·π½πΌ
- π»ππππ
- ππ ππ₯π€
- ππ¨π§ππ¬
- ππ€π£π©π¨
- ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½
- πππππ
these do not get picked up by screen readers as stated before. if you use these, someone using a screen reader may be confused and not pick up on what is stated in the profile, post, text, etc. you can use many different other things to make your profile aesthetic, such as non language symbols & emojis! don't use these ugly fonts.
