Введение
Тирезиас – это семейство шрифтов TrueType без засечек, разработанное с целью повышения удобочитаемости для людей с ослабленным зрением в Научно-исследовательском отделе Королевского национального института слепых в Лондоне. Шрифт был первоначально разработан для RNIB Крисом Шарвилем из Laker Sharville Design Associates, который в то время работал с Джоном Гиллом. В семейство входят:
Tiresias is a family of TrueType sans serif typefaces that were designed with the aim of legibility by people with impaired vision at the Scientific Research Unit of Royal National Institute of Blind People in London. The font was originally designed for the RNIB by Chris Sharville of Laker Sharville Design Associates who was working with John Gill at the time. The family includes
Tiresias Infofont – for information labels, optimized for maximum legibility at a distance of 30–100 cm. Tiresias Keyfont – for labeling the tops of keys of keyboards, PIN pads, appliances, remote controls (features exaggerated punctuation marks, no descender on the J)
Tiresias LPfont – for large print publications. A wedge serif design. Tiresias PCfont – for raster displays
Tiresias Screenfont – for television subtitling and on screen user interfaces
Tiresias Signfont – a more open spacing for use on signs
In late 2007, all Tiresias fonts except Tiresias Screenfont were released under the GNU General Public License version 3 or any later version. The name likely refers to Tiresias from Greek Mythology, a blind prophet of Apollo.
Tiresias Infofont – для информационных надписей, оптимизирован для максимальной читаемости на расстоянии 30–100 см. Tiresias Keyfont – для маркировки клавиш клавиатур, PIN-падов, бытовой техники, пультов дистанционного управления (отличается преувеличенными знаками препинания и отсутствием нижнего выступа у буквы J). Tiresias LPfont – для крупного шрифта. Имеет дизайн с клиновидными засечками. Tiresias PCfont – для растровых дисплеев. Tiresias Screenfont – для телевизионных субтитров и экранных пользовательских интерфейсов. Tiresias Signfont – с более широким межбуквенным интервалом для использования на вывесках.

В конце 2007 года все шрифты Tiresias, за исключением Tiresias Screenfont, были выпущены под лицензией GNU General Public License версии 3 или любой более поздней версии. Название, вероятно, отсылает к Тиресию из греческой мифологии – слепому пророку Аполлона.

Тирезиас
Тирезиас Screenfont был разработан как новый шрифт для цифровых телевизионных субтитров. Он был введен в обязательное использование в Великобритании (DVB T) Независимой телевизионной комиссией и до сих пор входит в число шрифтов, рекомендованных к использованию Ofcom. Однако шрифт подвергся критике за процесс его разработки и тестирования, а также за отсутствие начертания курсивом и дизайн. Тирезиас Screenfont продавался компанией Bitstream Inc., которая в 2012 году была приобретена корпорацией Monotype. Приобретшая компания продолжает предлагать Tiresias на своих веб-сайтах.
