If anyone uses narrower fonts so they can see more on a single screen, here's exactly what you need: http://dotsies.org — It's a mysterious dot font that is not braille. Have fun (spoiler: I didn't succeed to use it).
Wow, thanks for sharing!

Could you post your font files? I am unable to run this make command as it is broken in the latest build. Thanks so much!
I went through the build process — fascinating. Repo with the customized output files: https://github.com/kabootit/Iosevka Also some instructions for getting it going in VS Code. Never been a fan of narrow fonts but I'm sold on this one.

Didn't expect such enthusiasm. Out of curiosity: Are you trying to learn it?

In terms of creating a space-saving reading system, I think a better place to start would be with the writing system itself. Dotsies squishes letters but does not remove them.
I propose a system where each word is reduced to its minimal representation, eg. where letters are removed until the smallest unique form is found (giving more common words shorter forms).
Once I have such a mapping developed (for both reading and accelerated writing) I will see if something like dotsies still makes sense.
In any case I will not use squares: they make my eyes sad. Maybe circles :)

That is cool. I wish it wasn't dependent on the vertical alignment so much (e.g. if you have a single character, you can't tell an 'a' from a 'b' from a 'c' -- heck if you have a 'ab' that could also be a 'bc' or a 'cd'). Maybe it matters less in practice than I think.

Every time you press tab and your code editor actually inserts a tab, we are 1 step closer to the outcome from Terminator.
What where the terminator is killed and everything turns out ok?
