* The author mentions higher dpi displays, so maybe this is null and void now. Is 96 dpi still what we should use for the average user? * I liked the idea of pixel fonts (developed for the material of pixels), are these set for 96 dpi or always lower for aesthetics? * I found a repository with 3 pixel optimized fonts, including Garamond, open sans, and special elite. https://github.com/teryror/pixel-fonts https://github.com/teryror/pixel-fonts

> The author mentions higher dpi displays, so maybe this is null and void now. Is 96 dpi still what we should use for the average user? My 15" laptop I'm typing this now at 1920x1080 is ~150 DPI. The same resolution at 22" (a normal screen size) is 100 DPI. The author talks about 100 DPI for "the cheap Dell monitor I’m typing this" and 115 DPI for their laptop. So DPI hasn't improved all that much it seems, at least for computer screens. Looking at the stats for my weblog, about 40% use a low-DPI (<150 DPI) screen. The rest are >HD or mobile. This is heavily skewed towards programmer/IT people, who probably have better screens than average. So personally, I'd say that designing for 96 DPI is still a good default.
