Furygun81 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 A website that wants to portray sarcasm over the internet using a new font. Personally I think thats a great idea........... Hard to read right isn't it? Unfortunately the font doesn't want to work at this precise moment, but I hope that you're clever enough to work it out. Here's the website itself: http://glennmcanally.com/sarcastic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Inari Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hmm... So it's basically an italicization, but opposite of the standard right-slant, with a left-slant. I like the idea, but it's gonna take one heck of an effort for it to catch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 This isn't a new font style. It's called "Left-Italic," and is common in Arabic writing and German cartography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjrathbun812 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Sounds good to me. Maybe somebody here can work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The problem here is they're using a visual effect to achieve something that said effect really doesn't convey. When I look at a word italicized in the other direction, I don't automatically think "Yep. That's sarcasm." I think "Huh. Someone italicized in the other direction." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Maybe the sarcasm font should be Comic Sans. :troll: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballisticwaffles Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Oh that is SUCH a good idea, perhaps we should have our sarcasm in Webdings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 People that can't recognise sarcasm without the use of a font don't deserve any internets in the first place. :trollface: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Maybe the sarcasm font should be Comic Sans. What ever do you mean, DZ? Eh, I always found that the [/sarcasm] tag worked well if something was hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scourge Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I still dont see why people dont like my proposal of using this colour for the sarcasm indicator.. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unoservix Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 oh because using a color other people use for every post they make leaves it so obvious that you're being sarcastic seriously, it's just brilliant. stop, please, your iridescent intelligence will blind us all with the blazing truth of your genius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
