Not "all main payment operators". More accurate title would be "many major payment operators". Not a big deal but it comes off as presumptuous to suggest that paymentfont.io is the arbiter of what a "main payment operator" is. Nice font though, and a good idea to create that, thanks.

Yeah, missing for instance M-Pesa

I most certainly don't intend to be presumptuous or anything like that. On the contrary, I've just created a font for a project of mine and gave it to the world for free, as I found it could be useful to some of you guys.

I am well aware that PaymentFont is far from complete, so please feel free and contribute: https://github.com/vendocrat/PaymentFont/issues

Those are really nice, but aren't some of those trademarked?

I had reached out for all of them, but received no feedback of most them, neither via email nor twitter.

Anyhow there are some who contacted me right away to thank me or to ask themselves to be included in PaymentFont.

I see that trademark/copyright thing quite pragmatical. If one accepts a certain payment method or uses a certain payment operator/service, they will anyway put a sticker in their shop window or a logo on their website.

If that happens in good will and context, why should the trademark holder sue you for that? Isn't that actually what they want people to do?

Wow. I can't believe it's 2015 and both Chrome and Firefox are still battling text antialiasing bugs.

It's likely an issue with buggy video drivers. Firefox has a database of drivers on a blacklist that will crash due to instability. When it detects them in use, it will disable hardware acceleration which decreases performance and quality of some things like font rendering. Judging by the earlier screenshot, this is on a lower end laptop at 1366x768 resolution with an integrated graphics card. Most laptop makers neve…

My screenshot is from a PC with AMD A10-7850K with integrated Radeon R7 graphics. I always download the latest AMD drivers and check for updates every month.

Here are the AMD drivers that are blacklisted: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drive...
