The font, Truth and Ideals

(an edit by Astaryuu)

Truth and Ideals is the main font used on this website. It is based on Pokémon Black and White's ingame font. This origin is why the font is named as such, as the names of those games refer to the signature Legendary Pokémon, Reshiram and Zekrom, who represent idealism and realism respectively. In fact, the basic Latin script, hangul, and Japanese scripts are derived directly from ripping images from Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2.

However, these games are missing a fair few scripts. Truth and Ideals is effectively an updated version of the script that adds support for:

Greek

Άρθρο 1: Όλοι οι άνθρωποι γεννιούνται ελεύθεροι και ίσοι στην αξιοπρέπεια και τα δικαιώματα. Είναι προικισμένοι με λογική και συνείδηση, και οφείλουν να συμπεριφέρονται μεταξύ τους με πνεύμα αδελφοσύνης.

וְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת יְיָ | אֱלֹהֶיךָ, בְּכָל-לְבָֽבְךָ, וּבְכָל-נַפְשְׁךָ, וּבְכָל-מְאֹדֶֽךָ. וְהָיוּ הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה, אֲשֶׁר | אָֽנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ הַיּוֹם, עַל-לְבָבֶֽךָ: וְשִׁנַּנְתָּם לְבָנֶיךָ, וְדִבַּרְתָּ בָּם בְּשִׁבְתְּךָ בְּבֵיתֶךָ, וּבְלֶכְתְּךָ בַדֶּרֶךְ וּֽבְשָׁכְבְּךָ, וּבְקוּמֶֽךָ. וּקְשַׁרְתָּם לְאוֹת | עַל-יָדֶךָ, וְהָיוּ לְטֹטָפֹת בֵּין | עֵינֶֽיךָ, וּכְתַבְתָּם | עַל מְזֻזֹת בֵּיתֶךָ וּבִשְׁעָרֶֽיךָ:

Korean

뼈 그들에게 산야에 아름다우냐? 얼마나 든 찾아 발휘하기 뼈 것이다. 물방아 같은 이상 그들을 위하여, 사는가 보이는 그들의 것이다. 많이 눈이 끓는 넣는 듣는다, 공자는 인생에 커다란 천지는 없으면. 이상의 피다, 쓸쓸하랴? 못할 노래하며 일월과 갑 아름다우냐? 구하지 보내는 원대하고. 목숨이 ? 어디 듣기만 꽃이 커다란 생의 행복스럽고 그들은 열락의 봄바람이다.
