Only if you're using a bad font that doesn't differentiate between I and l
Fixed-width Serif is the only way to go when doing any sort of coding.
However, Comic Sans is a surprisingly decent alternative if you want to use a Sans Serif typeface. The letters are easily distinguishable.
monospace means the width of the "whole" character is always the same, but the width of the visible part of the character is not (imagine how large the dot would have to be for that to work)
...mm.m.
Even if this is lowercase and the dot on the i differentiates then the l would still be a dot.
I was assuming it was all uppercase
Sans serif fonts are widely considered easier to read.
You can pry the serifs from my cold dead letters
The fall of the Times New Roman Empire
We should follow Calculus's example and represent all lowercase l's as β
Or just add serifs to I even in sans serif fonts
My chemistry teacher writes Cl (chlorine) as C(whatever symbol you used) so that we donβt think itβs Carbon and Iodine
Proper keming would fix that.
Last I remember, serif fonts were easier to read on physical mediums, and sans was easier on digital mediums. Never learned why though so, grain of salt and all that
Verdana > Tahoma > TNR >>>>> Arial, Calibri
You gonna leave the hound as the only one unranked? That's no way to treat a dog π
here i did the numbers 0-9
β - β β β β β β β β
They actually did different widths at the start, very impressive. But that tapered off, the W should be much wider.
And M a bit.
W for WUMBO
Forget the front, what the hell is that kerning man
Pixar lamp. Enough said.
Why is l not a dot? I assume this is lower case
Guess itβs upper case then.
But upper case i is not a dot?
Uppercase I is often drawn without serifs, in which case it would be a dot.
Uppercase I is often drawn without serifs
I have always thought that's a officially wrong way to write the letter. You can't even distinct it from lower case l.
lI|Il|l|I
And yet it's used in fonts like Arial.
looks like it's uppercase
Uppercase L
Who does a lowercase j with a line?
it's uppercase, also j is still more wide than i
Lowercase i? uppercase J?
either both uppercase or both lowercase it doesn't matter J and j are both more wide than I and i
This doesn't specify the font. It could be an uppercase I in a font that doesn't use the top and bottom lines.
Me.
There! In the spine of the dictionary the words are worthless. They are a mere weight pressing against my thoughtlessness.
Fuck you too OP π

So the I is lower case, but not the J?
It could be uppercase. This doesn't specify the font used.
J is in lower case too, the line on the right of the i is shorter than the others.
