I would really like to read this article about the blind engineer on the new Star Trek show

but this article is printed with some fancy font that is filled with characters that are unreadable by my screen reader.

My ironies surpass all others.

Here is the article so others can read it and hey, look, he's telepathic, too! So it's as if you rolled Geordie, Counselor Troy, and O'Brien all into one character...cooool....

On 'Strange New Worlds,' Meet The Blind Telepathic Engineer
'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' co-stars Bruce Horak as Hemmer. Bruce Horak is a Visually Impaired Performer Creator, according to his website. He's an actor, playwright, composer, visual artist, and other things, so that sounds about right. He's also legally blind, seeing about 9% of what the average person does. On May 5, 2022, the relatively unknown Canadian co-stars in "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," the latest installment of the venerable franchise. Horak portrays Hemmer, a blind telepathic Aenar who works as an engineer on the USS Enterprise. A company Hemmer is a tyrant at work, but he's also a miracle worker:

Okay, I saw no weird fonts. There is a constantly-updating banner that spits out a letter at a time, pauses very briefly then clears and repeats.

The article makes no typographic distinction between author and interviewee -- good thing you're pro at contextual clues.
