It doesn't work well in courier - but something with less serifs like fixedsys
is better. Theres probably a bit of viewing it as a shade, but its more that
I'm after a vertical line that isn't centred on the character block, which
JFL give you. The extra bits are annoying, but IMO ignorable. Row gets away
with extra lines :)
: Hence why I draw "clean" linedrawing .. and almost no shading images
Its a matter of style yes. And wouldn't it be boring if we all had the same
style? :)
