I seem to recall research, or quoted research, that said 66 characters per line was the ideal reading length. Right now I cannot recall the context, so I don't know if fixed width or variable width was relevant to that supposed research. I might have gotten it from Knuth's Digital Typography, but I don't have that book here with me to check. -- Johann | email: invalid -> com | www.myrkraverk.com/blog/ I'm not from the Internet, I just work there. | twitter: @myrkraverk
