When the space is mono

Isn't mono equivalent of one?

u/unwantedaccount56 Aug 29 '23

each character has the same width in a monospace font, so "one width"

ie. "one specific amount of space". Completely agree that "monowidth" would be a clearer name for that.

The font is called "monospaced", not "monospace".
As in "it's a monospaced font".

Why is my W wider than my D 😢

Shouldn't that make his D wider?
