An interesting article. I am very glad for the recent flourishing of CJK fonts, both paid and free (see e.g. Noto fonts including Noto CJK[1])
Some feedback:
> Here an Arphic edit suggests aligning the bottom of the character 磋 with its top part, writing in red ink, “don’t shift right.” The character, as it happens, is cuo, and means “error.”
1. The character in the image is 蹉, not 磋.
2. The red edit text says 下偏右 = "the bottom is shifted right", not 不偏右 = "don't shift right".

- nsonnad 11y agoAuthor here. Thanks for the comments, I have fixed both points. The first one I assure you was just a typo, the second, I read too quickly and could have sworn there was another stroke there originally...
- amake 11y ago> I read too quickly and could have sworn there was another stroke there originally Funny how the meaning ended up basically the same either way. I'm reminded of a situation where I made a similar mistake (misread one character for another) but the meaning ended up the opposite: There was a hotel room listing that noted 设有电视 ("equipped with TV"). At the time simplified hanzi were still a bit new to me, so I misread ⻈ as ⺡ and thus in my mind it became 没有电视 ("has no TV"). I thought this was an odd thing to advertise, but that maybe it was simply a cultural difference.
