Death to typewriters II: Making type read well and look good

Cherry-picking glyphs. As we construct font files, we make sure that the characters we want are in there (namely ligatures and various spaces), but we also remove some for faster delivery of fonts (for example, rarely used math characters go away).

Using different fonts for specific glyphs. We also cherry-pick characters from other fonts if we don’t like them in default ones, for example redacted characters ██████ go directly to Cambria and the pilcrow (¶) falls back to Arial.
