Prank Fonts
Guaranteed to break the ice at typography parties! | |
A series of fonts with names like "Aria1", "Tines New
Roman", and "Cumbria", that are actually gagged versions
of their namesakes. The upper and lower case characters
could be switched, or adjacent keys such as "i" and "o"
transposed. And since they'd actually be typing the
correct keystrokes,
spell check would fail to catch the
mistake, driving your victim completely bonkers!

Why, this is the worst idea I've ever seen! I'll just put
in my [+ |

Wait a minute. I wanted to put a minus in there.
Let's try again. [+] |
|

Well, it seems they've been switched. You win this
time...! |
|

Can't imagine how exciting those are. |

This is already baked for fonts which insist on rendering I and l identically. |
|
| |
Most of the 355,000+ (I shit thee not) existing fonts
are simply a prank, designed to make otherwise sane
people crazy. |
|
| |
How do you identify the sane people, though ? |
|

[8th], you are under the impression there's more than one, are you? Hmmm. |
|

As an avid writer of complete nonsense I suspect this font has been on my confuser for years. This idea is a plague upon serious writers everywhere and therefore infinitely bunworthy. [+] |

The question was rhetorical. |

This is right up there with making a normal desktop screen shot into wallpaper, and then hiding all the original icons into a folder in one corner. |

cooool...[+] and congrats on your first 2.5 croissant idea!! |

Utterly funny and cruel at the same time. + |

The people who keep making new fonts should be
drowned in them. |

I have long mused about such a possibility. People encountering such a modified screen might become tense and grumpy and it would be good to include something to bring back balance. A wonderful addition would be to make icons of a single point, which would not be obvious when placed atop the image of the normal icon but would convert the arrow into a click hand when poised over it. Clicking would launch a program - perhaps a WAV file of Bobby McFerrin exhorting the listener to be happy, or maybe a video of cuddly puppies. |

Typography parties.
The names I can get, it's all those different faces I
don't remember.
I like the music you get though, you know like "I
shot the Serif", "Kerning Japanese", that sort of
thing.
I always have trouble with all the people having
enough space to evenly spread out, but I was told
on their budget that it just wasn't justified.
I went by train, but they laid on these old
fashioned horse drawn landaus to pick everyone
up, so at least I got a carriage return at the end of
the line. |

Wow [goff], long time no see. Glad to see you here
instead of dildo saddle idea. That one scared me. |
|
| |
I just really like the idea of having a font called "Tines New Roman." [+] |
