In Courier and C.-New they just look like a pile of J's and F's like Henry mentions. Maybe the serifs are distracting... They make one's eyes focus on the character instead of on the form. Or there's as much stress on the horizontal as on the vertical lines. Blabla... whatever... Anyway, I thought Henry was aiming at this "effect" (the one in the middle): ### # ### # # ### # # ### # # ### # # ### # # # ### ##" #### ### ##### #### ### # # ### # # ### ### # ### # # ### # # ### ### # ### > > Same thing with VK's lines... > > > > I use 3 OS's: Linux, Mac and Windows, and tried several fonts > > (all "fixed-width" of course). > > I use "9x15". This is a font 9 pixels wide, 15 pixels high, right? <snip> Actually I wanted to address a different "problem". But your set of lines isn't a good showcase to present it. So please ignore my earlier comments. I'll try to write it down when I have more time... :( Anyway, thanks for explaining. cya, ') mic at dataweb dot nl
