Genkimon Posted May 15, 2023 Report Posted May 15, 2023 Hi! I've done a search but I'm unable to find any info on which font I might be missing. Attached is an image showing the issue. Top text is how my friend sees it and the bottom text is how I'm seeing it. I assume I'm missing a font from my system, but does anyone know which font it is?
daretmavi Posted May 16, 2023 Report Posted May 16, 2023 I think/believe this is on purpose. Temporal storm is messing up even with communication 1
Maelstrom Posted May 16, 2023 Report Posted May 16, 2023 I have seen that during streams. The hard to read font is intentional and something like the altered speech when drunk.
Noelle Lavenza Posted May 18, 2023 Report Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) I think the point is that the Zalgo text is rendering between characters instead of atop the characters. Similar issues are reported on Linux for other programs: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/5973 https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/1420 You're likely on Linux, and combining characters don't seem to work properly in the font used for it.

Genkimon Posted May 18, 2023 Author Report Posted May 18, 2023 Aha thanks for the responses! I didn't have a name for the text, but now I know it's Zalgo and how it renders, I can see what you mean the text is showing next to each other instead of on top. I'm on windows 10, so not sure why it's not working. I can see zalgo text in other apps like discord and chrome.
