Note that there still have been no studies on its efficacy. At worst, it is a great font to avoid ambiguity between characters.

There's also a font for people who have dyslexia : https://opendyslexic.org/

Thanks, perfect addition to that usecase

Some tests showed that this font doesn't actually helps that much.

That's a really nice font.

They can fuck right off with the email registration for downloading it.

This is one of those bogus sign-up forms. You can enter a completely fake email and the page will just give you the download link.

Still annoying, but you can get the font with pretty little effort.

It didn't work when I entered why@example.com before posting. It did afterwards when trying a single use address.

Either way, I got the fonts, but not the spam. Hooray!

Never use example.com for this sort of thing. Many lists explicitly recognize this as an invalid domain. Use random letters and end it with .com.

Usually I use sales@company.com so that they get their own spam.

When the time has come for me to use the font, I would just enter a 1 minute mail like the ones you find when googling qwanting "trashmail"

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

Exactly what I'll be doing.

That's pretty slick
