- thenewnewguy 7y agoOnly when coding or working with raw text, I use variable-width fonts everywhere else (reading, browsing the web, etc).
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoBut would you ever read a novel using fixed width fonts? Modern typography uses variable width fonts for good reasons. I find type writer fonts to look horrible since I’ve gotten used to variable width fonts. It’s like immediate eye strain for me. But you have to choose a good font, times new Roman won’t work.
