I’m not sure if we have plans for an update about them, so I’ll refrain for now. Edited November 21, 2018 by Enoch

Gromnir Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 y'know, the portrait didn't look all too much like paul rudd to us, and until we googled a few o' the responses at josh's twitter, we were as confused as shady. even so, the linked pic did make us recall a few o' the weird bg1 portraits with the unnatural facial expressions. so, nostalgic?

draego Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Josh lecture at Graz University of Technology 4
AwesomeOcelot Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Josh lecture at Graz University of Technology On the subject of ligatures and how Josh didn't understand how it would make writing so much harder to read. I have dyslexia, it's a reading disorder that is unconnected to intelligence. My understanding of it is that it's a neurological based visual impairment, something that allows most people to read effortlessly does not work. fMRI studies show that dyslexics use different and more parts of their brains to read. I had trouble with standard fonts, dyslexics do much better when kerning is wider, making the distinction between letters clearer, so having a style of font that often closes that gap and merges two characters seems like a bad idea. Yeah, I probably could read fonts with ligatures but I read slowly and not automatically, it's tiring as is without adding obstacles. 2
Boeroer Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I have no problems reading it. I also didn't think it was a bug. I just thought "Hm, I guess those jaunty frills don't look thaaat good...?" while frantically searching the corresponding checkbox. Yeah... I'm so sorry Josh! Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
Messier-31 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Ligatures are ok, they are just too uncommon, should be more. e.g. Aedyr should be Ædyr Edited November 29, 2018 by Messier-31 2 It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air...
AndreaColombo Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I actually like font ligatures. 2 "Time is not your enemy.

Boeroer Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 That's why I asked Josh for an option to turn them back on. Just for you. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods

Wormerine Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 I did turn off liagures for my first playthrough of PoE1. It is not something I am used to seeing, being used to boring generic fonts. After Josh talked about why he put those in a while back, I turned them back on and never looked back. They do give the game a nice flavour and don't hinder my reading at all, once I got used to them (which happened quite quickly). It is certianly smart to not force players to use them, though. 2
InsaneCommander Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 I turned them off in my first game too. I don't remember when I turned them on, but I'm ok with them now.
draego Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) No Cartridge After Dark w @jesawyer! Josh talks his origins in gaming, the ideology of New Vegas factions, the nature of reading, and which faction @aveyclub is, Teen Vogue style. Absolutely a wonderful entry if you haven't taken the patreon plunge yet! patreon.com/posts/23094278 Edited December 3, 2018 by draego 1
