abadideaif you are under 30 years old and picking a font size for something other people need to read, not just yourself: that’s too small. still too small. A LITTLE BIGGER
I exploited this when I was 19 by setting my computer lab terminal window to use a 5px all-caps font. The professor couldn’t tell I was on IRC. But now, alas, I am the middle-aged professor
Simon ZerafaFractional point sizes (12.5 rather than 12) ) and 110% line spacing helps pad out a tedious essay 😉
Jernej Simončič �@simonzerafa @0xabad1dea Also change the periods to 14pt font :)
Binks@jernej__s @simonzerafa @0xabad1dea I am convinced all the period trick did was increase the vertical spacing between lines
Stephan Eggermont@0xabad1dea 4 column, 216 lines of code on a laser printer A4 page was pretty useful for code review on the train once, yes
gunstick@0xabad1dea good for you nobody knows that IRC exists, so they all use discord.

CavyherdI've got hand-written journal entries from as recently as ten years ago that I now need a magnifying glass to read.
chrisgj198@0xabad1dea I was legally required to fill out a census form with some objectionable questions on it, but they did not think to specify the size of my writing, nor its colour, so I got out the microscope and improvised some very sharp writing implements, and filled it in. If they too have a microscope or a very very good scanner, they might have been able to read it.
Armin Hanisch@0xabad1dea Finished a book and was astonished to see how many pages more you need if the text has to legible for people over 50 😆😁
