    It's been mentioned elsewhere recently but this presents an accessibility nightmare for screenreaders and similar assistive technologies.

    It’s like Yaytext? I wonder whether it’ll work on FB&Co?

    Kudos for a Show HN that's useful and isn't trying to push a subscription!

    No Zalgo text?

    As a Georgian-speaker, the ცΓმეპfυl style made me do a little sick.

    Just wanted to point out something that not everyone might realize:

    Unicode is not supposed to have fonts at all. Unicode defines characters that you can then represent in various fonts. It just so happens that Unicode has many characters that happen to look like the letter "C" (as an example): © for copyright, ℂ for complex numbers (formally called Double-Struck Capital C), etc. The author uses these many variations as a fun way to make "fonts".

    Isn't there a gazillion of the same tools for "Discord fonts"? What am I missing?

    This is limited to Latin script lookalikes. Try another script (eg Cyrillic), and it's got nothing.

    It'd be great if they used the "look-alike" mapping both ways.

    Last chance to use this before MSN’s spiritual successor gets shuttered in a few weeks.

    And unsearchable, perhaps a bonus.

    On my phone (niche software) several fonts don't get rendered.

    This is the easiest way to filter spam, bots, and people that never bring anything valuable to the discussion. It also applies to bio.

    Presentation has it's place, but writing what deserves to be read is far more important.

    Like others have already said, it’s an accessibility nightmare. On the other hand, it’s not like this is going away anytime soon – maybe screenreaders could learn to understand and read some such “fonts” (e.g. bold/italic at least)?
