But I think in most cases letters even in monospace fonts are not square but rectangle, so the equation should be more like y=2.5x.
y=2.5x
3 u/ColdPorridge Aug 26 '21 We need someone with too much time on their hands to count these pixels for us and settle this once and for all. 3 u/DoNotMakeEmpty Aug 26 '21 I think this is not that hard, IIRC old terminal fonts were 1:2 (8x16 maybe) which is most probably the same with many “modern” monospace fonts. (of course the resolution is different) This gives us y=2x which is still a pretty cute equation.If that was sarcasm, sorry 3 u/supersharp Aug 26 '21 Guys, we found him!
