Summary
Across social media sites, text content with "custom fonts" breaks readability by screen readers.
Readable converts "custom font" text back to a readable form, on every site you visit. Popular social media content is frequently using websites like https://lingojam.com/TwitterFonts to generate text that looks like it is in a custom font, but in reality is using non-standard characters which cannot be interpreted properly by a screen reader.
For example, Readable converts the following "custom font" text: Ρπ‘α₯Λ’ Ξ―δΈβ'π± βππ‘ΠΌπͺββΖ³ ππο½αͺΞΞ²βπ
to the readable text: ThiS ISN't NORmaLLY rEaDAbLE
