Decoy Font
I just came across this new font called Decoy Font...

interesting concept. Lets frustrate some readers and code an ebook using it.

Going by reports elsewhere and my own quick testing—the AIs I tried it with had little issue reading the sample text I used—this font is of little real use.

My worry is what else is/could be buried in the hidden part

I thought the point was for AIs to see the invisible bits and not the humans?

Which text did it read, or did it read both?

In my last tests, it read the "human readable" text though the machine readable text was offered as an alternative. I've attached sample images of text from Little Fuzzy that I use as one of my tests at 12pt and 48pt font sizes. As the font size increased, the text became harder to read but who want to write in 144pt with upper case only?
