Read below to learn more about fonts !!

WHAT ARE FONTS?

An example of them:

They are letters that might look similar to roman letters, but can be confusing or hard to read (by both humans and computers).
Language lettering (Ex: ł, ñ, î, etc.) and Character Languages (Ex: Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, etc.) are obviously not included when talking about "fonts".

WHY SHOULD I REMOVE MY FONTS?

It's ableist. People that need to use a screen readers, are dyslexic, and/or are neurodivergent have a hard time being able to read/process the letters. It's also generally hard for any person to read fonts as they are extremely confusing.
Here is a link to a video of a screen recorder trying to read a font.
Some fonts include characters from different languages used as an "aesthetic", taking the actual meaning from the character.
Read below for more resources about this topic.

WHAT CAN I DO?

The best thing you can do is remove any fonts you are using. Whether it is on Youtube, Twitter, Discord, Tumblr, Instagram, etc. change the "fonts" into regular roman characters.
The next thing you can do is to educate people. If someone is using fonts, send them a resource about it.
