Nobody's born a kern bigot.

I never even heard of Kerning until Sixty got his first batch of GH caps made. I had fingers crossed that when mine arrived they would not be messed up, then I was like, oh. Well there you go.

Rofl. I didn't either.

Yah, vintage collectable keys are fine. At least they are not Comic Sans.

Or reversed.

I may be a HTML noob but I've learned to kern. Drop in mono spaced fonts or a few pairs like Arial/Helvetica.
Same as before but with tracking adjusted to line them up. (They are, of course, both mono fonts anyway).

It was a pain to get it just right (alt-Arrow didn't hit the right value), and could well still be 'wrong' in some subtle way. It would be much better/easier to script drawing each individual character onto a grid :ugeek:

Anyone here using Pragmata Pro from http://www.fsd.it/fonts/pragmatapro.htm ?

Really thinking about getting that font, because of its amazing unicode support. But boy, it's pricey!


EDIT: Boy, I am silly; discussed this in this thread 2 months ago. I wonder: is there maybe another website selling this for less (with some discounts, maybe)?

Using Anonymous Pro for all my coding. I think it was in that Top 10 list mentioned earlier.
