The World's Smallest Legible Font
hasanabbas1987 writes "From the article: 'Well 'technically' they aren't the smallest fonts in the world as if they were you wouldn't be able to read even a single letter, but, you should be able to read the entire paragraph in the picture given above... we did. A Computer science professor called Ken Perlin designed these tiny fonts and you can fit 500 reasonable words in a resolution of 320 x 240 space. There are at the moment the smallest legible fonts in the world.'"

Tilt your head 90 degrees and you should be alright.
You're welcome.

Just read it backwards, word for word. I have to admit it was a bit harder, but it was still legible for me. Considering that this is maybe three point font, I find it pretty noteworthy.
I tried that, but the first word was "exercise" which just turned me off from the whole thing.
One time in college, the professor gave out .pdf documents of the class notes. We were allowed to bring three papers with us.
Well, I had this great software that could print four pages on one piece of paper. and the HP laserjet in the lab could do the same thing -- instant 16 pages on one piece of paper. I even brought a loupe into class to help me read such tiny print. Fun days, good class.
"-1 Troll" is the apparently the same as "-1 I disagree with you."
I imagine InstallShield will license these at once for click-through software licenses which need fine print -- really fine print.

OK tilt your head 270 degrees instead.
Great! Now I'm dead...
Next news story: "Slashdotter snaps someones neck through the internet."
If it rhymes it must be true.
Now I'm right back where I started and i think I can puke pea green soup.

Agreed, you have the smallest unit size that can be seen. Congratulations. Not sure what you can do with it though. I doubt the ladies will be impressed either.
