If you like to know about what goes into creating a font like this, check my post about it: http://pixelambacht.nl/2015/sans-bullshit-sans/ It's mostly command line tools, so don't worry about any artistic ability (I didn't).

Why so careful to choose Droid Sans for the main font, then use Comic Sans for the substitutions? Isn't Comic Sans the property of the most lawyered-up tech company on the planet?

Not working in Chrome 40

I think this was because of the contenteditable div. I now stuck a plain ol' textarea in there, that should fix the problem.

Woah, did I miss something? Chrome has problems with contenteditable?

If you're not willing to make the jump to a font change, you can get Cloud2Butt for firefox or chrome and it will help a little.

Same with "Disrupt all the things".

Synergistic wasn't censored in my case (but leverage was)

"Synergize" also was not a bullshit word.

There are more fun replacements than versions of "bullshit". the agile unicorn funded an uber immersive beta below the fold. the [bunk] [hogwash] [stultified] an [oafish] [foolish] [foolery] [in sheer madness] Tricky: Make sure "a" vs "an" is still used correctly with replacements.

Replace "an" with "a", assuming "a" will sometimes be pronounced "ey".

I was disappointed it didn't censor "Meticulously hand crafted" or "Made with love in San Francisco". Otherwise, rather lovely.

Any use of the word "Gorgeous" should also be bullshitted (esp. when written by the makers/providers of said app).

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

It is working on OSX Chrome 40 in my case.

The difference is that I used Comic Sans in the "design" of my censorship bars — I didn't redistribute the Comic Sans font itself.

This should be fixed now. If you download the font again, it should be installable. (If you could check and let me know I'd be eternally grateful! I don't have a Windows machine nearby.)

nope, not fixed yet, same error. fsType bit should be 0.

Yeah, that was the fix. Works fine on the Windows machines I just tested with. Did you redownload the font?
