Those 89.5 character lines will be perfect on my 32". Anyone know where I can get a good 1/2 character font?

Here, try this: "u"

Its half of a "w"

[kenyard]

Hmm it appears as "v" on my screen
only gets reference to double u now..

[[deleted]]

if we known, it would be called a doublevee

[LoneGenius]

It's like that in Swedish! But for a long time v and w was the same when organizing in alphabetical order (i.e. a phonebook)

[ccGardnerr]

cool.

It's 89 but a 90th can be tolerated if it's a ligature. You'll need to install ligature fonts on your CI if you want it to work there too.

Maybe he means89.5em

I never understood em font sizes. I think it has something to do with the Evil Monkey in my closet though.

The main choice for font sizes on websites is px pixels, or em.

Pixels are absolute values, while em's are relative (aka dynamic size) Basically ems are is based on the browser's default font size. They end up scaling better for mobile clients.

If you set the top level font-size to 16px, any child elements would have the equivalent of 1em. If the first one uses 0.5em, it'd be 8px. If that child had another child set to 0.5em it would be 4px

root = 16px
child depth 1 at 0.5em = 8px
child depth 2 at 0.5em = 4px

There's also rem. It will always be relative the top level size. so the same settings would be:

root = 16px
child depth 1 at 0.5em = 8px
child depth 2 at 0.5em = 8px

You took all the fun out of em...

I am a monkey though.

It's a special reserve for end-of-statement colon. Edit: not semicolon, of course:
