Tired of the same old #fonts?
In the past seven days, we added 64 new Uses to the Collection at fontsinuse.com.
Between those, 28 #typefaces were documented for the first time.

These debutants include old and new designs. Intrigue and Magister go back to the 1960s. Some incl. Aconchego, Grez, Hublot, Terza Display, and Tid came out in the past 12 months. Yet again others are unreleased (EB George) or proprietary (Haut-Bailly, TR Supply Gaskessel, Sommerro Sans).

LZH1 is a splattery #typeface designed by #LizabethBrenner. Letraset competitor #Chartpak selected it as a winner in their 1986 competition and produced it for dry transfer lettering.

Starting in 1989, it was used by hardcore punk band #Integrity. Rafael Nascimento documented this long-time Use:

… which inspired him to do a digital revival of LZH1, under the name Integrity.

Good News, Everyone! I solved the problem. I opened Synaptic Package Manager, checked the package dependencies for TeamViewer, and discovered that #TeamViewer on #Linux recommends the Liberation #fonts.

So, I re-enabled them in Font Manager, logged out and in, and launched TeamViewer, and now everything looks the way it should.

I have managed to break my #Linux system, because I used Font Manager to deactivate most of the pre-installed #fonts. I despise font cruft.

BUT, that means that the configuration files for the #fontconfig subsystem are not referencing any of the fonts I actually have installed and activated, so when I installed Font Awesome 6 for a particular #Conky config I downloaded, other applications started using Font Awesome as their default font for sans-serif.
