@deersyrup FINALLY omg
i’ve hated that font since i found out about it, it’s so much harder to read for me
my teacher in primary school used to use a program which she’d have to configure to use that font every time she opened it. i asked her to stop since i couldn’t read it as well as a normal font (comic sans ) and she acted as if i was being ableist somehow (but my 7 year old brain didn’t get it)

@deersyrup what has helped me a lot is increased line-height (something as ridiculously large as 1.8), increased page margin (indents would be more ideal but not always possible, but simply increasing the page margin helps me find where i was) and using a monospaced font because the spacing are all the same and i can chunk characters way more easily that way visually

@deersyrup oh yeah limiting line length is a big one, honestly that’s kinda what i achieve with a large page margin haha

yesss monospace serif, my preferred reading font is Iosevka with a Slabbed variant
