I love how the “y” and “?” get all snuggly in AOL Instant Messenger when using Lucida Grande at 10 point. It’s a classic case of bad kerning, but it’s very symbolic. The letter “y” is often used to communicate the word “why” which can be, in turn, represented by a “?”. It makes sense that these two characters are so close because they are so closely linked to one another
Haha! You said “kerning”! LOL!
Better Kerning is going to be one of my New Years resolutions this year. In 2006, my kerning will be much better I promise!!!
Merry Christmas to Eveyone!!!
