Kerning Memes

You think you know how text works until you dive into text rendering and suddenly discover that letters aren't just letters—they're existential nightmares. Kerning, ligatures, right-to-left languages, combining diacritics, zero-width joiners... the list goes on. That innocent "wouldn't believe" in the subtitle? Watch it disintegrate into individual glyphs with random spacing like it's having an identity crisis. Welcome to the rabbit hole where you realize every font is held together by dark magic and the collective prayers of typography engineers. Unicode was supposed to save us, but instead it gave us 149,186 characters and counting. Should've stuck with ASCII and called it a day.
