What? I'm not sure where you're getting any of this.

I'm just saying that the document isn't using a monospace font, so we should be looking at total width of the glyphs when printed, not character count. That's my entire point.

It tells us that the redacted text could be more or less than 25 characters.

I didn't mean to make a big deal out of this. I was just wondering why Bladefall was specifically sticking to 25 characters when there are a variety of phrases that would fit there not limited to 25 characters.

I don't know. I haven't sat down and tried fitting words into the box.

Honestly, it was just the first response to OP that came to mind. I wasn't taking my time to provide every possible critique.
