Check if spacing between characters is adequate for display use

iso15008/intercharacter_spacing

  • Applies to: TTF
  • Fontspector can hotfix?: no
  • Fontspector can fix sources?: no

Rationale

According to ISO 15008, fonts used for in-car displays should not be too narrow or too wide.

To ensure legibility of this font on in-car information systems, it is recommended that the spacing falls within the following values:

  • space between vertical strokes (e.g. "ll") should be 150%-240% of the stem width.

  • space between diagonals and verticals (e.g. "vl") should be at least 85% of the stem width.

  • diagonal characters should not touch (e.g. "vv").

(Note that passing this check does not guarantee compliance with ISO-15008.)
