A monospaced font, also called a fixed-pitch, fixed-width, or non-proportional font, is a font whose letters and characters each occupy the same amount of horizontal space. [1] [a] This contrasts with variable-width fonts, where the letters and spacings have different widths. Monospaced fonts are customary on typewriters and for typesetting ...
A duospaced font (also called a duospace font) is a fixed-width font whose letters and characters occupy either of two integer multiples of a specified, fixed horizontal space. Traditionally, this means either a single or double character width, [ 1 ] although the term has also been applied to fonts using fixed character widths with another ...
A uniwidth typeface, also known as an equal-width, duplexed, or multiplexed typeface, is a typeface where every variation has the same metrics (size of each letter). As a result, changing the variation used, such as using bold or italics, does not change the layout ( reflow ).
Substitutes uniformly-spaced characters with half-width version Alternate Half Widths: halt: P1 Re-positions full-width glyphs on half-width spaces Third Widths: twid: S1,P1 Substitutes uniformly-spaced character with a version of 1/3 width (punctuation, etc.) Quarter Widths: qwid: S1 Replaces uniformly-spaced glyphs with quarter-width ones ...
This is a list of notable CJK fonts (computer fonts with a large range of Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters). These fonts are primarily sorted by their typeface , the main classes being "with serif", "without serif" and "script".
OCR-A is a font issued in 1966 [2] and first implemented in 1968. [3] A special font was needed in the early days of computer optical character recognition, when there was a need for a font that could be recognized not only by the computers of that day, but also by humans. [4] OCR-A uses simple, thick strokes to form recognizable characters. [5]
Where available, most MM fonts support one or two (and occasionally three) of the following variables: Weight allows the character weight to be modified, typically from light, through regular, to extra bold. Width allows the character width to be extended or compressed. Although any font can be compressed or expanded by software, the results ...
The Unicode standard does not specify or create any font (), a collection of graphical shapes called glyphs, itself.Rather, it defines the abstract characters as a specific number (known as a code point) and also defines the required changes of shape depending on the context the glyph is used in (e.g., combining characters, precomposed characters and letter-diacritic combinations).
