  Only if you’re using a bad font that doesn’t differentiate between I and l

    Fixed-width Serif is the only way to go when doing any sort of coding.

    However, Comic Sans is a surprisingly decent alternative if you want to use a Sans Serif typeface. The letters are easily distinguishable.

      monospace means the width of the character is the same, but the width of the visible part of the character is usually not

    Even if this is lowercase and the dot on the i differentiates then the l would still be a dot.

      We should follow Calculus’s example and represent all lowercase l’s as ℓ

      Or just add serifs to I even in sans serif fonts

      Last I remember, serif fonts were easier to read on physical mediums, and sans was easier on digital mediums. Never learned why though so, grain of salt and all that

  They actually did different widths at the start, very impressive. But that tapered off, the W should be much wider.

  Why is l not a dot? I assume this is lower case

  source

  • giantfloppycock@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    • lowleveldata@programming.dev ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      But upper case i is not a dot?

  There! In the spine of the dictionary the words are worthless. They are a mere weight pressing against my thoughtlessness.

• StaySquared@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  So the I is lower case, but not the J?

  • Maven@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It could be uppercase. This doesn’t specify the font used.

  • yetAnotherUser@feddit.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    J is in lower case too, the line on the right of the i is shorter than the others.
