message: I notice that in Excel, if you zoom out far enough, monospace fonts (e.g. Lucida Console) appear to be no longer monospace. Captain Zyrain 19:13, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That's because the furhter out you zoom the less pixels are used to display the letters, and the mediocre screen resolution---the number of dots (pixels) per inch---forces the app to render innacurately, and you lose the appearance of monospaced even width characters. What's this got to do with the list of typefaces article anyway? Arbo 20:49, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

*Courier New
what do you think?--Pokipsy76 (talk) 10:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry to need to say no. It displays fine only if the computer with the browser have this font installed. It would otherwise be of no instructional value. Instead it would be instructive to create images (raster or SVG) containing a carefully selected list of characters, f.ex. "abcde" or "aâbcć" etc.. Said: Rursus ☻ 06:13, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Licensing information 

message: Instead of a list, why not simply use Category:Typefaces - with appropriate sub-categories underneath - instead? Sub-categories could include Typefaces by style, Typefaces by script, Typefaces by licence etc. and would be automatically sorted. Chris Fynn (talk) 13:29, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A category does not tell the reader what is learned from an article like the current one. I like the current arrangement of information about typefaces, and I have been adding details. --DThomsen8 (talk) 18:22, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Why not use Category:Typefaces instead?

message: * Amsterdam Old Style
* Divona (typeface)
* Portobello
* Tema Cantante
This is the list in the article. Is there such typeface? It seems to me that there is not, and this section should be removed. --DThomsen8 (talk) 12:26, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, semi-serifs do exist, but they are not common. I also don't know if semi-serif is the official name, but it is used. Sometimes semi-serifs only have serifs on the top sides of letters, or only on the bottom. They are usually slab-serifs, so semi-slab serifs actually. Take a look at Thesis TheMix by Lucas de Groot, which is such a typeface. Typehigh (talk) 17:02, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I see the serifs in the lower case Thesis TheMix letters like p and q, but there are none on the upper case letters. Please consider making an article on at least one of these typefaces, whether the one you mention, or one of the four above. They may be uncommon, but an example would be good to have as a matter of educating users in the overall subject. --DThomsen8 (talk) 02:25, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, because there are serifs on some letters and not on others is where the moniker semi-serif comes from. TheMix is part of Thesis, which does have an article (albeit a lousy one). I don't have much time at the moment to write or rewrite articles, but I could rewrite the Thesis article sometime and expand the part on TheMix. Typehigh (talk) 05:05, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps just expand the subsection on TheMix, or provide a sample image there, either of which would be much quicker than rewriting the whole article now. --DThomsen8 (talk) 12:43, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I will look into it. Typehigh (talk) 22:50, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

text: See myfonts category. My (non-expert) take on these is that they could be viewed either as a serif faces done with an idiosyncratic "incompleteness", or as sans-serif faces with a kind of flair or micro-swash at the end of strokes.  Hence "semi serif": partially serif, between serif and sans. ⇔ ChristTrekker 14:56, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  merge into list of typefaces 

message: Hi ,
I've noted your prod. I agree that we cannot include every typeface on earth, but as an alternative to deletion, WP:ATD, I think this article might be fixed by other means. For instance, we could specify that the inclusion criteria as only typefaces with articles be included. Then this article would become a standalone list, per WP:SAL, and still be a useful annotated alternative to the categories, per WP:CLN. Comments? --Mark viking (talk) 18:28, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  . Thanks. I've cleaned up the article to just include typefaces with articles or with citations and removed the prod. --Mark viking (talk) 19:09, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
