Try using elinks or similar console-based browser. All issues of obfuscating font just fall away.

I was going to forgive that, but he went out of his way and disabled the reader mode, so no.

  You can do that on Chrome? Yuck. Reinforces my perception that Chrome is biased towards the publisher while Firefox is biased towards the reader.

  Strange I can see reader view works in Firefox. I didn't notice strange fonts and was wondering what people were complaining about. Remembered I set my own fonts, and "not allow pages to choose their own fonts". And the DarkReader theme ensures I got the same colors on any webpage. It's almost as consistent as browsing gemini:// All the webfonts are truly a thing I can live without, right after ads. ____ The article was great. I thought it was one of the few things about Kant, including all the things *from* Kant, my tiny brain is able to comprehend. Sometimes it feels like learning about each philosopher is like starting from scratch. Almost like starting a new programming language. To really understand everything I have not only read all their material but also read everything they have read. And by the time I get good at it I am almost ready to come up with my own model of how the world works. I still can't say I totally understand Kant. But the best introduction to Kant I had was by Schopenhauer's "Parerga and Paralipomena"[1].

  Haha, sorry about the typeface. It is my design, work in progress, so I would welcome any feed back you have (why does it suck?) Otherwise I haven't disabled the reader view, I don't even know how this is done.

    No clue either, but interestingly the reader mode was available after I disabled content blockers (that's on Safari on Mac). So I take it back; I read the post and it is quite interesting :) I am curious now, how did you come to get interested in this topic? That font, though... It's not that it sucks in general, but it is a bit too quirky to be read comfortably for more than one sentence. At least to me. The combination of sharp angles, irregular curves, and seemingly randomly varying thickness. Also, Kant most certainly did drugs.

      On how did I became interested in Kant - you can read my other post about Kant for the story (linked at the bottom.) For the font, other people complained that it is too non-standard, maybe I have to do a separate version for text. Didn't know about the drugs.
