Vcr osd mono font

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to make gui in VHS style

My idea is to add the VCR OSD MONO font to the marketplace

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because i can easily create vhs styled guis

or just give us the ability to upload custom fonts…

I personally would like to add more fonts if they won’t allow the ability to upload custom fonts. Currently Roblox has a lack of quality toon fonts. Fredoka One is over used. I find something like Rubik to be a great toon font and Roblox should add similar fonts.

This is a bad idea.

Its harder to moderate fonts, where any svg can be displayed. It isnt a matter of “oh, well, they can just scan every glyph!” What about combinations of glyphs? It already would take some time to scan every glyph, but scanning every combination of glyphs would take multiple universes dying and rebirthing just to scan one font!

Bad actors can already create bad images by generating images using Frames or Parts as pixels. Should we remove Frames and Parts because they can be used to make bad things? No, we should ban the developers who misuse them to create inappropriate things. The same thing applies for developers who knowingly upload misusable fonts.

The potential benefit of custom fonts vastly outweighs any downside.

Then let’s remove editable images and meshes. People can still use them for mischievous purposes.

Just as Mauio64 stated, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Roblox’s job is to moderate the developers using them properly.

You can argue that you should try to stop it from the root which Roblox pretty much can. Of course not for every combination but they still can. They have the funds and the people.
