Man, I'm loving IBM Plex; this font is crazy. The different weights are like different fonts, super distinct in the QS tiles and such.
Jnot a self hosted streaming service?
CNo, the font IBM commissioned to replace Helvetica Neue for them
JMy deck seems to be stuck in an update loop with the July 2nd update. Every time apply the update and reboot it says an update is available. Is that a known issue?
CWonder if Kyle knows about it given that he uses HN as a system font
CDid you follow these instructions already?: https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1074438180847239279/1257854077048721520
Rgot a screenshot of how it looks?
Rthe default bazzite font was hurting my eyes
Ri ripped the windows font but it renders differently in bazzite
CHere
Roooh, i quite like that
CDifferent weights
Rwhat settings are you using?
Ri like that a lot
C
CJust the default grayscale AA in GNOME Tweaks with hinting disabled
Ralso lol this is the most over engineered website for a font i've ever seen in my entire life
CIt's really slow JS for some reason
Ryeah
Rits insane
K#announcements - it might be this issue.
CThe GitHub page is much better
CRyeah
SPlex is a weird font; not pleasant to read
CAlso very well maintained font, last update was in May
SDoes a font need to be maintained...?
KI was literally about to ask that
CNot necessarily
Klike.. it's a font. Just make it and get on with life 
Ri care about fonts
CBut given the scope Plex has surely some mistakes can get through the cracks
Ri spend a lot of time reading text on a computer
CThere's glyphs for Asian languages and such
Rif my eyes start to strain, i notice it
SNoto sans is good enough for me
KSo do I, but I don't worry about the fonts. MoonReader tells me if I need to download a font, if not, carry on.
KWhatever Bazzite is using is fine.
CTypography is one of the most complicated fields of knowledge there are
SA lot of complexity and not much purpose
KIf the font itself is causing your eyes to strain, either 1) Stop using Comic Sans and Papyrus for everything, or 2) get your eyes checked,
CIt's how we're communicating right now
CIt's easy to take for granted but there's an absurd amount of work and thought that goes into it
KArguably uneeded work and thought
Syou could put any standard 80s bitmap font into discord and it would be perfectly usable
Kyup
CEspecially in the digital age it's more pervasive than ever
ZNot as easy to read
Kits like Google totally redesigning their UI language every other year.
CFonts can affect even the implied tone of what you read
SAggregate hundreds of thousands of hours making fonts for no reason; we already have some good ones; time to stop
