Font Substitution Will Occur Continue
Font substitution will occur continue
Font substitution is the process of using one typeface in place of another when the intended typeface either is not available or does not contain glyphs for the required characters. Font substitution can be aided by classifying fonts into generic font families, such as sans serif, serif, monospace, etc., or by defining font substitutions in the operating system's or the application software's font configuration.
Font substitution can have advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, it can help display text that would otherwise be unreadable or invisible due to missing fonts or characters. On the other hand, it can lead to inconsistent visual appearance, as part of a word or sentence is displayed in one font and another part is displayed in the substituted font. Moreover, font substitution may not always find a suitable replacement for the original font, especially for scripts that are not well supported by a large font inventory.

Font substitution will likely continue to be a common phenomenon in the digital world, as there are many factors that can cause fonts to be unavailable or incompatible. Some of these factors are:
The diversity and complexity of human languages and writing systems, which require a large number of fonts and characters to cover all possible scenarios.
The cost and licensing issues of fonts, which may limit the access and distribution of certain fonts.
The compatibility and interoperability issues of fonts across different platforms, devices, applications, and formats.
The personal preferences and aesthetic choices of users and designers, which may vary depending on the context and purpose of the text.
Therefore, font substitution will remain a challenge and an opportunity for both developers and users of digital text. Developers need to ensure that their products can handle font substitution gracefully and effectively, while users need to be aware of the implications and limitations of font substitution. In addition, both parties can benefit from exploring alternative or similar fonts that can meet their needs and expectations.
