Before anyone comments about special characters in display names. I agree with you that some people make display names that are impossible to read or make out. This is about having a legible name with just a different font. 𝑮𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊 𝑬𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 is what I wanted, and it was initially accepted. As you can see the name is legible. For some reason though the display name is automatically being reset and forcing us to wait.
Now, if it is a matter of that particular font not being accepted. Then the system should reject it in the first place. If it is going to AUTOMATICALLY reset the username, then it should not make us wait the grace period to change the name again. Part of second life is being able to express ourselves. Yes, this includes those who use illegible display names. It is their choice and ultimately if you do not like the display name then do not interact with that person. We are all entitled to our opinions. But I digress.
In my case the name is legible, and it seems unfair that the name would get accepted and then a couple hours later it gets reset with no explanation as to why and then we are forced to wait. So why are some display names accepted and others reset? How or where can we find acceptable fonts that can be used?
