    I feel like I’ve seen this post on lemmy like 50 times over the last few days

      Ah, damn. Somehow I must have missed it.

        First time I’m seeing it!

    M and W should be wider than the rest, shouldn’t they?

      Not if it’s allegorical

      Nor if they are all the same letter or same size letters

        I and J are already different

      Maybe it’s a monospaced font

        Then the “i” would likely be a dash too

        The i says otherwise.

          That’s not how monospaced fonts work

    Better version:

    The alphabet from the front and above:
    ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
    ––––‒‒––·‒–‒— –––––‒–––—––‒

    This corresponds almost perfectly with Roboto on my Android phone. Characters featured:

    • U+00B7 · MIDDLE DOT (I)
    • U+2012 ‒ FIGURE DASH (EFJLSZ)
    • U+2013 – EN DASH (ABCDGHKNOPQRTUVXY)
    • U+2014 — EM DASH (MW)
    • U+200A   HAIR SPACE (put in the middle cuz M&W are too wide for any dash)

      This was my first thought, thanks for doing it.

      It drives me mad that the em dash isn’t the width of the M!

        They might have helped but we’ve seen how it fared regardless
