Detect and repair illegible strings in names. #144

Open NanoAi opened 6 years ago

Names like 𝓐𝓫𝓻π“ͺ𝓱π“ͺ𝓢 𝓛𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓸𝓡𝓷 show up as... image

The same names also show up as squares when pushed through the relay. These names should be translated to readable characters or simply replaced with readable text that indicates that the real string could not be read.

We should install the correct fonts. Instead we should have a library that does this internally for !goto abraham and such

I think this could help us out... https://github.com/codebox/homoglyph

I'm not sure if this is a fonts issue, Garry's Mod has always had problems with displaying homoglyphs.

People use these nicknames for a reason don't they?

NanoAi commented 6 years ago

I've never seen anyone use homoglyphs in their name with the intention of said name not showing up, or their name getting cut off. Just trying to meet people half way.
