They might have helped but we've seen how it fared regardless

Better version:

The alphabet from the front and above:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
––––‒‒––·‒–‒— –––––‒–––—––‒

This corresponds almost perfectly with Roboto on my Android phone. Characters featured:

  • U+00B7 · MIDDLE DOT (I)
  • U+2012 ‒ FIGURE DASH (EFJLSZ)
  • U+2013 – EN DASH (ABCDGHKNOPQRTUVXY)
  • U+2014 — EM DASH (MW)
  • U+200A   HAIR SPACE (put in the middle cuz M&W are too wide for any dash)

This was my first thought, thanks for doing it.

It drives me mad that the em dash isn't the width of the M!

M and W should be wider than the rest, shouldn't they?

Maybe it’s a monospaced font

The i says otherwise.

That's not how monospaced fonts work

Then the "i" would likely be a dash too

Not if it's allegorical

Nor if they are all the same letter or same size letters

I and J are already different

I feel like I've seen this post on lemmy like 50 times over the last few days

Ah, damn. Somehow I must have missed it.

First time I'm seeing it!
