| | Typeface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | ASCII art requires a non-proportional font for proper viewing. | | | The art of designing typefaces, called type design, is the occupation of a type designer. | | | Manually-operated phototypographic composition systems (using fonts made on rolls of film) allowed fine kerning between letters without great physical effort for the first time and spawned a large type-design industry in the 1960s and 1970s. |

It's very similar to the Helvetica font, but the characters are bigger and much more legible IMO. |

| | This means, for example, that it is not possible to use a proportional font to format plain text tables or poetry correctly--lining up the spaces and words using one proportional font will cause it to look skewed using another. | | | A proportional font is one where each letter takes up just the amount of space it needs, so that a capital "W" is much wider than a small "i". | | | You should always look at PG texts in a non-proportional font, even if you prefer to work mostly using a proportional font, because readers and automatic converter programs will assume that you meant to your text to be viewed using a non-proportional font. |

| | "Why Do the Templates Look Like This?" |
| | Finally, the uniformity of a non-proportional font allows an editor to "cast off text" accurately--that is, to determine how many typed pages it will take to make up a printed page. | | | Along the same lines, untrained typists often insert five manual spaces for paragraph indentations, and such indentations translate into tiny, incorrect indentations in some proportional fonts. | | | Non-proportional "typewriter" fonts such as Courier and Courier New, in addition to being highly readable, allow precise control over such details as spacing, alignment, and indentation. |
