I have always used crude methods to get around screen font spacing
problems, like choosing another font that looked better. Truthfully,
I never understood why some characters are closer together than
others, and how to fix the problem, not just avoid the symptom.
How can I fix a font's spacing on-screen, so that it is uniform.
Can someone, in a paragraph or less, outline why some fonts' spacing
look so poor, while others seem great? Or give a reference to a web
site that could help me?
Currently I'm using American Typewriter, and the spacing is uneven
across a single line, using basic plain 14 pt text. What are my
options?
Teach a writer how to get around a problem, you help him make his
deadline. Teach him how to use fonts, and you feed his family : -)
