That's a great idea! Don't know how I didn't think of that. But you can upload your own fonts too as long as they are 1bit black and white.

For more, read Paul Nash's "The abandoning of the long s in Britain in 1800", which mentions the material and economic aspects, but then digs deeper into why it happened so suddenly in 1800 (which he speculates is realted to

It's more of a pet theory I have. The 1787 Printer's grammar mentions the following: "Kerned Letters being attended with more trouble than other Sorts, Founders are sometimes sparing in casting them; whereas they rather requi

That's probably what should happen, but it's not what happens in reality. In grading I have to follow a very detailed grading matrix (made by some higher-ups) and the requirements for passing and getting the lowest grade are so in

I totally agree. I think the neo-liberal university model is the real culprit. Where I live, Universities get money for each student who graduates. This is up to 100k euros for a new doctorate. This means that the University and its admin w

I did consider that, but the 1980 IBM Displaywriter uses a filled downwards triangle, not a house character, to indicate the center line [0]. But you're right that the Displaywriter inspited 1984 DisplayWrite DOS program [1] did use th

The last one was a gotcha: it's their newly established York–London flight! Try Our New York–London Flight Connection. Or if it was New York: Try Our New York – London Flight Connection. Note the additional spaces. Agree on the capital

Fonts are kind of dumb. There's usually nothing actually weird going on. Ligatures are simple character substitutions. What the LIGSPACE is, most likely, is a spacing character added by the designer to align the characters in the ligat

What do you mean? Add far as I know <code><pre> doesn't help with any of those? Color is very much a part of ASCII art, if we consider ASCII to mean a broader range of different technologies. Just check the stuff in the art
