cds@atelabs.UUCP (David Shanks) points out: -I blather: ->prindle@nadc.arpa writes: ->> [...] Challenge: a 2 pixel wide font! ->Hm... well, assuming true black and white, i.e. 1 bit per pixel, and 96 ->displayable ASCII characters (decimal 32 through decimal 127), I conclude that ->a character in your font will have to be 24 pixels high - -I don't know how you came up with a 2 by 24 matrix as the minimum size for 96 -distinct patterns (forgetting about attractiveness) but I think I could do a -lot better. In fact I'll bet I can get 128 distinct patterns in a 1 by 7 -matrix. I'll bet you can too. Well, I know how I came up with that, but I'm not ABOUT to admit it now! It was past my bedtime when I scribbled this, and my brain had already retired. Thanks for a little rationality, David. However, this doesn't mean I want to read a 1 by 7 font, or even 2 by 24...
