"The goal of the project is to make text hard to read for computers yet fairly easy to read for humans" What's the advantage to this?

Defeating censorship, frustrating accounts to analyze or index communications, etc.

Spamming people and making it impossible for blind people to use the internet?

"When I type "a" it would show as "z" and so on". Someone mentioned http://www.rot13.com/ - is it what you loukyngue phor? :)

Ah yes! But the shift or scramble would be at the font level. So URYYB would read HELLO. Or rather, the reader reading HELLO will have no idea the document actually says URYYB as the contents of that text because the font renders URYYB as HELLO. Presentation detached from substance. Without the "key" font it'll just read URYYB.

Frequency analysis makes this kind of cipher very easy to crack...

Akszualli dis is en obsfuskejszon juzing an akszual slawik lenguydz (uidaut juzing speszal slawik karakters but that // łud potenszalli bi iwen more obfuskejted). Ol klir?

I find it amusing how big the differences are between the Slavic languages. So, krige is obviously Polish (not even trying to hide it with the ł, but also using "sz" for "sh"). My guess would be xixixao is Czech or Slovak. Correct?

Czech, correct. I didn't use our letters for the sounds easily replecated in english, so sh and ch would be š and č in Czech.
