#12Not working in Chrome 40
Working for me, but only if I type into the textarea (not paste)
Re: Sans Bullshit Sans
#13The more interesting part for me was how they made it http://pixelambacht.nl/2015/sans-bullshit-sans/
TL;DR version: they made a font with custom ligatures, so that the sequence of glyphs that make 'synergy' are replaced with a single 'bullshit' glyph!
Re: Sans Bullshit Sans
#14It would be fun if the sentence "Meticulously hand crafted by PixelAmbacht" had some of the ligatures. I expected it to have but it didn't.

Definitively not working in Chrome 40 on OSX, but Firefox does. Lovely idea.

#16Does anyone know how well search engines cope with ligatures? If they don't I expect it won't be long before we see spam sites using ligatures as a way to hide their spamminess.

#17I've actually read corporate "mission statements" that don't even sound like English. Like, not just a few buzzwords, but near-complete gibberish in places. What possesses people to do this?
People are generally too nice to call out bullshit. When things don't make sense, you give others the benefit of the doubt and think "well, it must make sense to them" rather than "hey, what does that mean exactly?"

Mission statement by committee?

Ligatures shouldn't affect search engines, as they will index the text of the pages, not the fonts/visual representation themselves.

I actually think the crawlers are more sophisticated than that. Recently I got an email from Google saying the text on my website was not big enough when browsing my site with a low resolution - which is why they choose to lower my rank on the results page. Clearly they have pretty advanced tests when it comes to accessibility of text, not only the content.
