Proposed update for font names in readme for increased clarity #41

Closed thundernixon closed 5 years ago

thundernixon commented 5 years ago

I keep forgetting what order to put arguments in, and have to check the gifs against sources to find an obvious change.

This is because the args this asks for are font_a and font_b, and there are two logical interpretations of this:

  1. I want to compare a font before & after, so surely font_a is "before" and font_b is "after"
  2. "Before" starts with a "b" and "After" starts with an "a," so surely font_a is "after" and font_b is "before" (based on a test just now, this is the actual answer)

Is there some even-more obvious answer here, like requiring explicit flags (--before and --after), or might this doc update be enough to make things obvious for users?
