In this third episode of '1000 Words for Belonging', a simple community arts project opens up a digital can of worms. Why is it so difficult to print and publish text in multiple languages? Why do some fonts shape-shift between documents and devices? In her quest to understand this technological puzzle, Neela speaks with typeface designer and researcher, Sahar Afshar, and Marie Thaut and Rezwana Uddin from the SOAS Sylheti Project.
