Let's ban CSS?

What prevents the hacker from cloning the whole web-page of, say, facebook.com login and phish users for credentials this way? This is not a hyphotetical thing, Kali Linux even bundles a utility program for that.

Compared to that, one icon, that is the same as that of the company, is not that threatening.

Not only that, but if you consider a sign in form that wouldn't have a logo, it would be way easier to trick user into putting their credentials in, because the user wouldn't be able to differentiate them. Also OAuth is always branded AFAIK.

Users may also notice discrepancies in the logo, if it was cloned poorly. Though I can't think of a way someone couldn't forge a logo given all the possibilities. Adobe Illustrator can trace images into svg and there's plenty of companies' svg logos just in the google search.

I have to say though, the responder to the first comment did a bad job at conveying what exactly refterm is... Apparently people falsely think that refterm is a terminal emulator and use it interchangeably with terminal and terminal renderer, while it isn't.

If you were to open refterm once, you'd see a text that explicitly states "DO NOT USE IT AS A TERMNIAL EMULATOR", or something like that (can't open it now to copy exact).

Turned out it defaults to Cascadia Mono, my bad. Still your argument is wrong, because, like it doesn't work on your machine, on mine it does.

Then again, refterm doesn't f*ck it up. It still renders proportional font; just aligned to tiles. It is essentially doing the same as for emoji.

Would you actually...?

The "font some random HN commenter happened to use" is some f****** proportional Calibri. I want to see someone use it in any terminal emulator. Refterm defaults to Cascadia Code, but, fair enough, it doesn't have fallback yet.

Its' description says also: "Reference monospace terminal renderer". "monospace" is there for a reason.

It's worth mentioning though, that Windows Terminal also defaults to Cascadia Code and Cascadia Code was installed automatically on my machine, so it's de-facto the new monospace standard font on Windows starting from 10.

How is it not applicable when the thing at question is rendering text and rendering is the core of game development? This argument is stupid. Do you have to be a slowpoke to develop commercial apps?

> That seems like it would be unaffected by correcting font rendering.

It is.

"... extremely slow Unicode parsing with Uniscribe and extremely slow glyph generation with DirectWrite..."

Glyph generation is about rasterising text, because you can't just feed it the font file.
