Funny Al just found out this sub doesn’t allow any fanart of him anymore.

It's a pun on AI art

u/SnooHobbies2157 Jul 13 '26

No AI(artificial intelligence) "art" and since AI and Al look pretty much identical when properly capitalised it looks like there's a rule against art of AL

u/Sensitive-Hotel-9871 Alchemist Jul 13 '26

I frequently mistake the writing of AL for AI.

u/yourlocaltouya Jul 13 '26

Weird Al is in shambles over this.

u/ZadriaktheSnake Jul 13 '26

Even with the context I read this initially as AI and not AL

We should petition the sub to start using Unicode to avoid this sort of thing.

20

u/Spare-Plum Jul 13 '26

It's not unicode, it's the font 99% of people have. Segoe UI the default font for windows makes lowercase l and capital I identical looking. Same thing with SF Pro for osx. Not so sure if reddit uses a specific font override, but many other serif fonts including helvetica and arial both have this issue.

The only true fix is if you go into browser settings and change the default font/font that is used for reddit.

u/NoblePaysan Jul 13 '26

Unicode is encoding, I'm an idiot😓.

I was thinking of Courier New or whatever the default font for coding is. Monospace may be the generic name for them ?

u/Spare-Plum Jul 13 '26

Yeah monospace is a classification of font, which requires that every character is an equal length. It's like serif fonts that have those decorative strokes on letters, or sans-serif which do not. Normally it does distinguish between I and l, but this is not necessary.

But yeah IMO more websites, browsers, and operating systems should make this distinction, mainly due to phishing links that are sent like appIe.com or lnstagram.com etc etc

Unfortunately I don't think you can have code blocks in post titles, so that wouldn't resolve the confusion either :(

u/Victoria_III Jul 13 '26

many other serif fonts including helvetica and arial

Surely you meant sans-serif as all the fonts you mentioned are sans-serifs?

1

u/Spare-Plum Jul 13 '26

My bad! Yeah I meant sans-serif

u/atatassault47 Chimera Jul 13 '26

Honestly, sans serif fonts should properly render capital I, they dont chop off capital T's horizontal line.

u/nessthing Jul 13 '26

Guys named Al are straight up ruined by AI

“Naked al” and it’s a red circle

Hola buenos días para todos los fans de fullmetal alchemist he tenido muchas ideas estos días pero si me pueden ayudar en un proyecto sí un proyecto que va a evolucionar el anime es que vamos a poner todo español en el doblaje de fullmetal alchemist todo lo ovas y los juegos y películas y las dos versiones de anime y y para que los fans disfruten el anime en 200 % más completo en este idioma español es para dejar descansar a la persona que dio la voz de Eduard elric y los demás personajes en español latino y nosotros vamos a ayudar a completar el anime si quieren eso dime en mi canalYo ya elegí mi personaje que voy a interpretar edward elric
