Minimum set of assets to cover all screen sizes, densities, and orientations on Android Yeah that was actually my point. Maybe I didn't communicate it well enough. |

Creating negative company logos? What do you mean by negative? Are you using it the same way as it's used in photography? |

Different types of fonts "Mutually exclusive" is when it is either one thing, or the other thing, but can never be both at once - there is no overlap. As I said in my answer, categories "serif" and "display" are not mutually exclusive. It's possible for a typeface to be both. This is also the case with a number of the other categories mentioned. |

Different types of fonts There will be a lot of consensus, but there will also be grey areas, that's all. For instance, everyone will agree that there are serifs and sans-serifs, and among serifs there are traditional, transitional and modern, and among sans-serifs there are geometric, varying degrees of humanist, and more. But different people will use different terms and categorisations for things that lie outside or between accepted categories. |

“Serifs improve fast, easy readability for long text” - myth or truth? Sans-serif type only emerged in the 19th century, or 18th if you count non-Latin alphabets. Serif types were hundreds of years earlier. Either you are thinking of something other than printed type or you are thinking of something other than sans-serif. |

Courier New-like font with Unicode support? Courier New has much better Unicode coverage than most fonts. It would help if you told us exactly which characters/languages/scripts you needed coverage of. |

How can I make a font monospaced? Yes, stretching wide glyphs like M is not a good enough solution for exactly the reason Brendan points out: its vertical strokes become narrower than other letters and that looks bad. You have to actually edit the glyphs by hand, by selecting control points and moving them. Hopefully this gives the OP some idea of how doing this right (or nicely) is no small task. Especially if you want to have a somewhat decent glyph coverage. |

Font with large spacing suggestion Just to let you know, kerning is not the word for this. Kerning is tracking adjustments made to individual letter pairs based on the shape of those letters, for instance nudging the letters "AY" closer together so the tail of the Y is vertically above part of the A. "Tracking" or "letter spacing" is the term you are looking for. |

What does the size of the font translate to exactly? The vertical box-drawing characters should theoretically cover the entire em-height (and probably overlap it a small amount). But very few fonts include these characters. The normal vertical bar ( |) will NOT usually equal the em size. It doesn't even do this in the Microsoft core fonts (Arial, Georgia etc). |
