Her wa[]y hair was a challenge for the hairdresser
I'm not saying the context always disambiguates it. You can have ambiguous sentences even with perfect fonts.
The judge delivered an ambiguous sentence.

Same question as GP - how can you tell if that was meant to be waxy or wavy?

From the context. Long hair blowing in the wind is a description of beautiful hair. Wavy hair is beautiful; waxy hair is not.

This is very obvious to most people.

"I'll have you know that some people find waxy hair beautifully therefore your example is invalid and I am very intelligent"
