| | 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. |

| | Helvetica/9 (or the almost identical XHelvetica/9) is too small; the lower-case letters are only four pixels high, which means the a's and e's and other complex little letters look strange. | | | I made these fonts more than a year ago, but as I recently got a request for them by someone who saw a grab of my Workbench Screen, I decided to upload them. | | | I use it as the `tiny' font in MUI.) It's very similar to the Helvetica font, but the characters are bigger and much more legible IMO. |

| | The Project Gutenberg FAQ - W-5 - Project Gutenberg |
| | 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. |

| | Monospaced Fonts |
| | Courier is sometimes used as a quick way to type highly formatted columnar text, since it is easier to prepare that way. | | | The technology of the typewriter (until the IBM Selectric) required that every character, whether upper or lower case, whether it is an i or a w, be the same width as every other character, since each character appeared on a piece of metal which would strike the ribbon and apply the ink to the paper. | | | What makes this easier is that even a space occupies the same amount of horizontal space as the letter w or the letter i or the letter M. This would look considerable better in proportional font, but the formatting would be more complex. |
