Bridget's first accessibility lesson - fonts! now I have a very negative view of fonts being used in both profiles and rentries .. heres why fonts are insanely inaccessible. screen readers cannot read them whatsoever, and in some cases they may even break the screen reader! but somehow even with that knowledge people will use them anyway because "well it makes my profile cute" , accessibility should always be over aesthetics. and that's final anyways , i recommend using bolded or italic text instead of fonts, as in markdown, all you have to do for italic is putting one asterisk (the thing that looks like a little star) on the first letter and the last letter ! like this or for bolded its two asterisks on the first and last letter ! like this!! bolded and italic text is easier to read then fonts, as it involves actual letters rather then in most cases, unicode symbols (as fonts are considered unicode symbols) , some screen readers may have trouble reading other languages too depending on how their writing system is (in example some screen readers may have trouble reading hiragana) but don't let that stray you away from using your own language! lesson over ~ tune in next time!
