Hm... I am reading this on a 1600x900 screen of my T420s Frankenpad while sitting in dusk in a German campsite. I ordered the screen some 10 years ago off Alibaba or something, and it is exactly the resolution and brightness I need. I hope I will die before this Frankenpad, because contemporary laptops are awful in so many aspects.

You know... as you age, you really can't read all those tiny characters anyway.

It sounds like you have a proper computer anyway, do you really care about non-fixed-width fonts? These are office suite and web browser fonts.

If something needed to be rendered in some particular way, it should have been a PDF. For everything else there’s vim.
