On a related note, does anyone know of any studies of monospace vs. proportional fonts on reading speed/comprehension? I can find a number of examples for reading on older, low-DPI computer screens, but not much for high DPI screens or high-resolution print.
- Surio 13y agoYou make an interesting point. Small observation: Traditionally, even the monospaced fonts from the 70s-90s on terminals and older machines, were of the kerned variety (serif-like appearance).
- andreasvc 13y agoIf you kern a monospace font it's no longer monospace (fixed width), so that seems unlikely. Maybe you mean something else?
- Surio 13y agoYes, I wanted to say "stroked", as in: >> even the monospaced fonts from the 70s-90s on terminals and older machines, were of the stroked variety (serif-like appearance) Good catch.
