在自己的 wiki 上塞想要的 HTML 元素
自己的 wiki (MediaWiki) 是唯一的作者,所以 XSS 類的問題就先暫時不考慮,目標是增加 元素可以讓我引用外部字型,也就是我希望用 @import url()。 一開始找到的是 Extension:CSS,但從程式碼裡面的 Hooks.php 這邊可以看到不允許 @import,就只好放掉... 後來找到的是 Extension:HTML Tags 這套,裝好後設定允許 這個標籤,就可以塞東西進去了,但這個方法還是有不少 security risk,主要還是因為我是唯一的作者才能這樣玩。 現在可以在頁面上直接讀一堆 fonts 進來玩了... …
Phew. Spent a lot of time today, with help from one of the contributors, figuring out why the GUI of the Qt6-based beta of the next @novelwriter release freezes for a second or two with a white dialog when starting up on Windows.
Turns out the Unicode thin space (U+2009) does not exist in some Windows fonts, like Verdana. Looks like Qt6 halts drawing the text while finding a replacement glyph, which freezes up everything. But only the forst time it encounters it.

“IKEA’s web fonts” by @robinwhittleton
https://www.robinwhittleton.com/2025/04/23/ikea-web-fonts/
> The font project is owned by the design system team at IKEA, but working with fonts is quite a specialist skill and we wanted to cast a wide net, so from the start it has been an innerSource project that anyone internally can contribute to.
Excellent article on how IKEA had to create their own font for certain characters, and how they made it available to…

“Optical Size tweaking for dark mode” by @markboulton
https://markboulton.co.uk/journal/optical-sizing-for-dark-mode/
> Most type considerations for dark mode are exclusively colour. Changing the foreground and background on a toggle or by the user’s OS preferences. But, it shouldn’t stop there. Typographic considerations for dark mode should extend to line height and spacing, font weight, and finally, optical size.

The Art Deco in the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City... is one of those places I have to visit when I go there..
#Web #usability and #accessibility ...
This is from crimethinc.com, but I'm not trying to pick particularly on them. There are many, many, many sites just as bad or worse.
This is a screenshot from an article on their site today, rendered in Firefox (Linux).
See the hair-thin font? See the fact that it's light grey on a white background? There's virtually no contrast between the text and the background.
This is an accessibility nightmare for those with any sort of vision problem. Picking the colour out of the screenshot (I didn't look at the CSS), it appears the text is basically 45% grey. This is ludicrous.
If the font face had some heft, it might be still be half-assed readable with contrast this low.
But as is... If I were to take my contacts out, I wouldn't even be able to tell that this screenshot *had* any of the normal-sized text in it, much less be able to read any of it.
Web designers, I beg you: please consider more than the appearance of what you're creating when you're making design choices.
Remember that not everyone is a 20- or 30-something with near-perfect vision.
Remember that people have cataracts or other types of eye cloudiness which necessitate high-contrast text to be able to read, even if they scale the fonts up by a huge amount.
Remember that vision degrades naturally in people in many ways other than "just wear glasses" can fix.
Oh wait, what is this? Is this yet another free font pack? Oh yeah, it is!
Just wrapped up the Font Kit II with THREE new unique designs inspired by the Seiken series look-n-feel. It is free.99! Oh, also it is CC0, which is nice.
Problem with special characters - PDF/UA - Screenreader:
I ran into a problem with two glyphs – 🅭 and 🅯 – when creating an accessible PDF. Text set in Source Sans 3.
Tests with InDesign/MadeToTag export and LibreOffice PDF/UA export show the following:
The PDF(s) pass the PDF/UA checks with PAC and pdfToolbox but 🅭 and 🅯 are not read aloud e.g. by Acrobat.
Is this a known issue?
🅭 (1F16D - CIRCLED CC)
🅯 (1F16F - CIRCLED HUMAN FIGURE)
