18 of them are questionable nature - noveau Ibm and all the ibm bios replica ones

2018-04-04 00:51:23 UTC  

```sh
$ du -sh /usr/share/fonts
466M /usr/share/fonts
```

At some point, it's just annoying to have too many fonts.

2018-04-04 00:52:39 UTC  

or joystix which should be legal, but it's also made 1:1 to referrence nintendo font (found in devkit of nes)

2018-04-04 00:52:50 UTC  

I wish font selectors could adapt, having categories or something.

2018-04-04 00:52:57 UTC  

Oh yeah.

2018-04-04 00:53:32 UTC  

Serif, and sans sections

2018-04-04 00:53:33 UTC  

it becomes a pain when you just need that "bitmap font, 10 px native size, frequency of use - low"

The one from Splatoon.

2018-04-04 00:54:26 UTC  

Looks like 70s tripped over toy box

2018-04-04 00:55:58 UTC  

@DanielKO whenever i see logo fonts used for information pages - something dies inside me little by little

2018-04-04 00:56:59 UTC  

Yeah, at least in Splatoon 2 they switched to a simpler font.

2018-04-04 00:57:17 UTC  

aka - actually hired typographer

2018-04-04 00:57:41 UTC  

or graphics designer which had better taste in fonts

2018-04-04 00:58:07 UTC  

Splatoon 1 has two fonts: Paintball and some regular Sans font.

2018-04-04 00:58:37 UTC  

I wish they'd use the Sans font for all the verbose text.

2018-04-04 00:59:02 UTC  

this is one of my favorite fonts https://www.dafont.com/timeburner.font it's very light and detail compression is good

2018-04-04 01:00:18 UTC  

it also partially calls out to art deco, which is always a plus

2018-04-04 01:01:18 UTC  

This is the Splatoon 2 font.

2018-04-04 01:01:21 UTC  

yeah this is much better

2018-04-04 01:01:31 UTC  

It's crap like this that makes me dislike Silicon Valley.

It's a bunch of autists running the show, who can't agree on anything close to a standardization, even after 30 years

2018-04-04 01:01:51 UTC  

@Fitzydog sillicon valley? try whole *nix *community*

2018-04-04 01:01:52 UTC  

I don't know, Splatoon 2 font looks too irregular still.

2018-04-04 01:02:37 UTC  

Yeah, a bit, but it's still leagues ahead splatoon 1 crap

2018-04-04 01:03:44 UTC  

@DanielKO also check this out - if you ever need to think about using comic sans - try good dog instead. it's still a goofy font. but looks better https://www.dafont.com/good-dog.font

2018-04-04 01:04:12 UTC  

I like it

2018-04-04 01:04:45 UTC  

I remember back on the old Palm Pilots, you could draw with the stylus your own font characters, and then use them as if it's your own handwriting

2018-04-04 01:05:00 UTC  

it's perfect for kids games also, in fact - a proto-flash game (in a sense that it's structured like an edutament flash game, only before macromedia projector) for windows 3.1 used it and it was fine

2018-04-04 01:05:12 UTC  

wish i could recall the name

2018-04-04 01:05:25 UTC  

Text adventures?

2018-04-04 01:05:28 UTC  

noo

2018-04-04 01:05:40 UTC  

no bang bang

2018-04-04 01:06:03 UTC  

Like Putt Putt saves the zoo?

2018-04-04 01:06:17 UTC  

before that

2018-04-04 01:06:31 UTC  

or after, i don't remember timeline of putt putt releases

2018-04-04 01:06:33 UTC  

Oh, the Sierra era

2018-04-04 01:06:42 UTC  

Sierra had some of the best games

2018-04-04 01:06:48 UTC  

emphasis on looking like flash game

2018-04-04 01:07:05 UTC
