Laser printers (color ones) are (were?) required to have some sort of built in imperfection because they were too good and could be used for counterfeiting. I wouldn't be surprised if this eventually is a requirement for cameras, you k

I read once that when we read, our eyes bounce along the tops of the letters. A demonstration removed the lower parts of the letters, and interestingly, I was able to still read the words. I would like to see this same test but with a font
