- kstrauser 3y ago…for you. Be careful when you state personal opinion as fact. I’m not claiming that they’re universally good, just that I like them (and so do lots of other people). Your claims are far from universal.
- sebastianconcpt 3y agoBut notice is not an opinion that most fonts you see everywhere are not using ligatures. They are a subset which is the opposite of being universally adopted as norm. Which is the point I'm raising: The norm expects you to unambiguously interpret certain symbols and ligatures dilutes that normal convenience to read symbols unambiguously. Your brain acquired a taste to adjust the parsing of these symbols, that taste isn't universal nor is it the norm.
