umm... yes, I try it in 10pt and it looks less ugly. But it's reaching the limits of legibility with my eyes.
Got to be a fixed-width font because I'm relying on that to format the display. Maybe not forever, and I'll go over to a grid one day, but there's so many gotchers down that route I'm in no hurry to try it. It looks better in APL385 Unicode 10pt. But that font still suffers from the Courier defect: 4 u: (109 16b2070 16b00b9 16b00b2 16b00b3), 16b2074 +i.6 where 1 2 3 look quite different from all the rest. However in SI-units only 2 3 and -1 are ever used, unless you're a radiation expert. For now I think I'll just stick to showing m/s instead of m s⁻¹ I see from Wikipedia it's still considered "standard". Thanks anyway, Bill. (I guess there is no "-1" code point.)
