Surely this would use whatever font the virtual terminal profile was set to? I don’t know of any method to choose a virtual terminal font from bash and don’t see any code that addresses it?
- nisiddharth 3mo agoThey're referring to the font on the T-shirt.
- tym0 3mo agoThank you for spelling it out for me because I thought I was looking at a completely hallucinated AI article...
- speerer 3mo agoAuthor here. All hallucinations are my own. Now you point it out, I see why the jump in context from the terminal back to the tshirt font would give the wrong impression.
- tym0 3mo agoHonestly it was quite a whiplash to go from what looked like a good article to something that seemed completely made up. But I would chalk that up more to my reading comprehension than your writing.
- DrewADesign 3mo agoI didn’t read it as generated text, but the context definitely threw me.
- DrewADesign 3mo agoAh, I see. I’m sure the clothing designer that actually made the design couldn’t care less about technical consistency and was just looking for something ‘tech’ looking that also read well in that design context in that medium.
- efreak 3mo agoI don't recall the exact command I used, but I had my console font set to Comic Sans for a while (though it wasn't quite recognizable due to low resolution and aliasing). There's tools out there to convert type 1 and other fonts to console font format (I couldn't quite manage to get the opentype converter tool working, but truetype worked fine at large sizes)
