For the love of God subtitle folks, if you're making subs you don't actually have to add every font known to humanity. You can just add the ones that you're using in the ASS/SSA file. More specifically, you don't have to add 150 fonts totaling 141MB when you're only using 10-20 across the entire subtitle file.
If removing the unneeded fonts reduces the overall size of the videos by 1.1GB across 12 episodes then you're doing it wrong.

Please use bigger fonts and good contrast

aaaaaaaaaa! There it is!
My friend @…’s brand new typeface Tausend is out. So, so good … 😍

Have realised the fonts i have installed on my Mac are out of control - gets more difficult to wade through them looking for inspiration. To be fiar this has been an issue with me forever, since the heady days of the Letraset catalogue.
What is everyone using to manage their fonts these days?

Note to web designers: if you set a size for body text fonts, a substantial part of your audience won't be able to read your page at all, so you've lost them; and more tech-savvy users will either zoom the page, breaking your clever design, or remove your styling altogether (which is what I tend to do).
The user knows what size of font the user can read. The user has their preferences set up so they can read their screen. Trust the user.
And if that breaks your design, yo…

Joan Westenberg: "A failed state. With very good fonts." Whoah <-- read the whole thing --> https://www.theindex.media/america-is-a-failed-state-with-good-branding/

Pretty happy, first episode went from ~6GB to 250MB. Settings are still good, quality is outstanding, and the chapters, subtitles, and fonts all muxed in beautifully. Gonna let these encodes finish up on the cluster while I listen to some music and drink a few beers outside.

ICYMI, this video by @… about 1990s font piracy (remember those CDs containing thousands of fonts?) is very educational.
I actually learned that XBAND Rough, a font that I have definitely used in the past, is actually a knock-off of FF Confidential by Just van Rossum.

haha, i like to poison my personal data - among others - by using a random combination of unicode homoglyphs. this is a new result on a package i got delivered.

@… There's a wave of satisfaction engulfing me when I purge 486 fonts and related files. That's bloat for me; it was put there without me selecting it 🤪
The overall Slackware install, with Hyprland, labwc, niri and all applications I could possibly want still remains comfortably below 25 gb, video, music, some flatpaks also included. S…

TableMoE: Neuro-Symbolic Routing for Structured Expert Reasoning in Multimodal Table Understanding
Multimodal understanding of tables in real-world contexts is challenging due to the complexity of structure, symbolic density, and visual degradation (blur, skew, watermarking, incomplete structures or fonts, multi-span or hierarchically nested layouts). Existing multimodal large language models (MLLMs) struggle with such WildStruct conditions, resulting in limited performance and poor generalization. To address these challenges, we propose TableMoE, a neuro-symbolic Mixture-of-Connector-Expert…

Is there something like open source web safe fonts?
