About Aachen
In case you don't have a rot13 binary installed on your unix(-like) system, I can recommend the bsdgames Debian package: besides rot13/caesar/morse coders, it also comes with tiny terminal games like atc and boggle. On shared servers, monop is fun if you're both attached to the same screen session (`screen -x`). Or you could just use one of the many boring alternatives like https://rot13.com :-)

Huh, I'm positive this was one of the first I considered (or perhaps it was a different dyslexia font) but I can't find the reason why I would have preferred PT Sans over this. Eac…

What are the 4/5ths that you don't like, and which one(s) would you recommend instead? (I'm mostly interested/focussed on the sans variant but also happy to hear about serif and mo…
