The Pixar lamp choosing where to strike:
- The only defense are serifs
  
  They might have helped but we've seen how it fared regardless
Better version:

The alphabet from the front and above:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
––––‒‒––·‒–‒— –––––‒–––—––‒

This corresponds almost perfectly with Roboto on my Android phone. Characters featured:

U+00B7 · MIDDLE DOT (I)

U+2012 ‒ FIGURE DASH (EFJLSZ)

U+2013 – EN DASH (ABCDGHKNOPQRTUVXY)

U+2014 — EM DASH (MW)

U+200A HAIR SPACE (put in the middle cuz M&W are too wide for any dash)

  It drives me mad that the em dash isn't the width of the M!
M and W should be wider than the rest, shouldn't they?
- Maybe it’s a monospaced font
  
  The i says otherwise.
  
  Then the "i" would likely be a dash too

- Not if it's allegorical
  
  Nor if they are all the same letter or same size letters
  
  I and J are already different

  Where is j?
I feel like I've seen this post on lemmy like 50 times over the last few days
- Ah, damn. Somehow I must have missed it.
  
  First time I'm seeing it!
