Summary

The current font, while fun and intriguing, has the international users unable to use their own glyphs. The font should be changed to be more accessible and international.

Apologies! I take back the dyslexia part if it is working for you.

This is actually the hardest part most fonts that support glyphs are ones that make it harder for other users with other disabilities also it should fallback to different fonts if certain glyphs get used already.

I also feel I should mention the font sizes on many of the elements are far too small and sometimes hard to discern, especially for people with poor vision, it might not be inherently related but still something worth mentioning

Yet again something already available in client settings cause if you even just up it by one pixel it already gets out of control

If you change the setting client side it makes the text far too big and makes the whole interface look like a cheap fisherprice toy with big oversized buttons and elements, the font size shouldn't be that small to begin with

You see all that client setting does is: increase the font size by one

Lexend and Lexend Deca is the same font

"It has been decided for the update of July 2021 to align the Regular weight with the one of Lexend Deca which is slightly bolder. Lexend and Lexend Deca are therefore the same (for now…)"

What if we used Lexend Deca

the issue is we should pick a font that perferebly has support for multiple languages Lexend is missing languages such as russian
