This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

I don't know why but looking at that Sarasa Gothic typeface really tickled my Autistic brain

Yeah, same. I like how Chinese looks when next to Latin text in Sarasa

If you like geometric fonts, there's also Agave. Frankly, I don't like to use this one for writing, but it's very pretty to look at.

looks at Chinese font; gets an immediate funny feeling in head

Oh fuck that's good

Oh god, I felt that dopamine

Everyone is telling me to "Just use comic sans or whatever, it's better for you as an ADHD or dyslexic" person

Cheap-ass font (regarding comic sans imho)

(it's always like that in a lot of countries; the "help" you get is basically just "assistance on a discount")

Also, how exactly can I install Agave?

I use Windows 11 as my OS (for now; might install Mint soon)

Agave, find v38 (or the latest version) and download the .TTF files.

To install a TTF file, you just need to double click it. Windows will open a window and you'll just need to click "install".

For Sarasa, you need to download the right font since there are so many. You need to go into the Single Family TTF package and choose the "Mono" Zip file. Hinting basically means that the letters are easier to read (it's math).

DO NOT download any TTC files. They can't be installed normally like we did with Agave.

Then, unpack the zip file into a folder and choose a Mono font that has the right CJK characters (since Japanese and Chinese have different appearances for characters). If you want Chinese, I think you'll have to so find all TTF fonts in the folder that have SC (for simplified Chinese) next to the name.

Thanks for explaining the actual steps like I'm 5 or something...

I genuinely genuinely do appreciate it that actually

nobody knows how to explain shit nowadays and gets wildly impatient with you on top of it...

copium

No problems!

Also, whenever you install a font, you need to restart Word and other programs if they are open during the installation.
