Readability for evil Overlords and other typographic mischiefs

Es gibt diese Momente, da findet man so tolle Sachen wie diese Anleitung:

How to be a Successful Evil Overlord

Und das Teil ist auch echt super witzig und klasse geschrieben. Der Autor hat nur leider den Entschluss gefasst, als Font das unsägliche Comic Sans zu verwenden das natürlich verbrannt verbannt gehört.

evil_overlord_comic_sans

Damit sich niemand mit diesem oder vielen anderen typographischen Fehlschüssen die Augen verderben muss, hat das Internet1 das Bookmarklet Readability hervorgebracht. Ein Klick und aus der schlimmen Textwüste, dem blinkenden Glitzerfont und dem von Werbung zerstückelten Text wird eine schlichte und lesbare Oase des reinen Lesevergnügens.

Und das, werte Leser, finde ich schön. Danke liebes Internet.
