It is unacceptable that I and l are indistinguishable in the vast majority of modern fonts.
How have we not corrected this in DECADES of digital life, despite every kindergartner learning that a capital I has crossbars? I demand answers!
Ian Kluft ✅🖥️📡@User47 That's only true for sans-serif fonts. The "crossbars" are called serifs. "Sans" is French for "without". Though sans-serif fonts are intended for use in headlines, they're usually the default text font on web browsers from an ancient-digital era 20+ years ago when screen resolution didn't resolve serifs well. So the best suggestion is to configure your system and/or browser to display text in a serif font, and adjust Mastodon preferences to "use system font". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif
@KO6YQ I’m over here still advocating for monospaced fonts, too.
@User47 🤔 Ummm... OK. Didn't expect that. The purpose of monospaced fonts is when columns of text need to line up, like in a text editor, or for symbolically displaying source code and program output because of their association with text editors.
When I'm coding, my text editor uses monospaced fonts. For other uses, proportional spaced fonts were made to be easier to read.
@KO6YQ I think they are cool. I’m sure they would look dumb like on an iPhone but I appreciate the gaps and nice alignment
@User47 OK. I’m similarly surprised by people who like antique typewriters. But there are apparently enough to keep a store in business here in Portland. From the point of view of its purpose, I wouldn’t expect that. To each their own, I guess.
