Fuck you too OP 😏

Forget the front, what the hell is that kerning man

fellowmortal,

There! In the spine of the dictionary the words are worthless. They are a mere weight pressing against my thoughtlessness.

someguy3,

They actually did different widths at the start, very impressive. But that tapered off, the W should be much wider.

Shardikprime,

W for WUMBO

Valmond,

And M a bit.

StaySquared,

So the I is lower case, but not the J?

Maven,

It could be uppercase. This doesn’t specify the font used.

yetAnotherUser,

J is in lower case too, the line on the right of the i is shorter than the others.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Pixar lamp. Enough said.

GeneralEmergency,

Who does a lowercase j with a line?

it’s uppercase, also j is still more wide than i

GeneralEmergency,

Lowercase i? uppercase J?

stebo02,
@stebo02@sopuli.xyz avatar

either both uppercase or both lowercase it doesn’t matter J and j are both more wide than I and i

Maven,

This doesn’t specify the font. It could be an uppercase I in a font that doesn’t use the top and bottom lines.

spujb,

here i did the numbers 0-9

lowleveldata,

Why is l not a dot? I assume this is lower case

Kit,

Uppercase L

Tixanou,

looks like it’s uppercase

giantfloppycock,

Guess it’s upper case then.

lowleveldata,

But upper case i is not a dot?

Sotuanduso,

Uppercase I is often drawn without serifs, in which case it would be a dot.

lowleveldata,

Uppercase I is often drawn without serifs

I have always thought that’s a officially wrong way to write the letter. You can’t even distinct it from lower case l.

Sotuanduso,

And yet it’s used in fonts like Arial.

iiGxC,

lI|Il|l|I

Vent,

Only if you’re using a bad font that doesn’t differentiate between I and l

mynachmadarch,

Even if this is lowercase and the dot on the i differentiates then the l would still be a dot.

Vent,

I was assuming it was all uppercase

Gork,

Fixed-width Serif is the only way to go when doing any sort of coding.

However, Comic Sans is a surprisingly decent alternative if you want to use a Sans Serif typeface. The letters are easily distinguishable.

sus,

monospace means the width of the “whole” character is always the same, but the width of the visible part of the character is not (imagine how large the dot would have to be for that to work)

…mm.m.

disguy_ovahea,

Sans serif fonts are widely considered easier to read.

Vent,

We should follow Calculus’s example and represent all lowercase l’s as ℓ

Or just add serifs to I even in sans serif fonts

IntentionallyAnon,

My chemistry teacher writes Cl (chlorine) as C(whatever symbol you used) so that we don’t think it’s Carbon and Iodine

Xephonian,

Proper keming would fix that.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,

You can pry the serifs from my cold dead letters

disguy_ovahea,

The fall of the Times New Roman Empire

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Last I remember, serif fonts were easier to read on physical mediums, and sans was easier on digital mediums. Never learned why though so, grain of salt and all that

Viking_Hippie,
