Screen Real Estate used up - right terminology?This is a discussion on Screen Real Estate used up - right terminology? within the Editors forums in Theory and Concepts category; For me, If the vocabulary is not right, it is difficult to manipulate the handles pointing to that concept. For an editor, what term would you use for the screen real estate occupied by a glyph. For example an ASCII character might occupy screen real estate of 1, a tab screen real estate of 8, etc?... | ||||||||
