   @thomasfuchs wtf, this is a thing?!
   I can see its utility from a design perspective, sure. There is fidelity you can encode with colour for a richness in glyph rendering that you wouldn't be able to get otherwise.

   But, c'mon. Even the *examples* on https://www.colorfonts.wtf/ are abusing this feature in a way that propels us toward a nightmarishly garish future of illegible hellsite scrawl and MS-Wordart title renderings. Actually, maybe that's great. Viva la '90s!

     @thomasfuchs the web is Chrome, and I feel like an idiot for contributing to that.

     @thomasfuchs this is fantastic. I'll share it with my fellow PRIDE erg members at work.

     @thomasfuchs I remember Type 3 Postscript fonts from back in the day, which supported colour glyphs :)

     @thomasfuchs Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. I thought you were saying that that website wouldn't render the font in color in Chrome. I took a screengrab of it rendering colors. Sorry if I got that wrong!
