I get that, but it figures in when you actually put this on pixels. I’m thinking about practical use of such a font, most likely on a pixel-constrained screen, otherwise you would use a higher definition font.
It’s a cool hack, and for someone actually using little fonts like I do in real world devices it’s very interesting.
I find that you can actually go 4x5 (including padding) and still have great readability. Any less and you have to work to read it.
By this definition every n x n font is actually (n + 1) x (n + 1), but that isn’t the convention and fonts are never displayed with 0px vertical or horizontal spacing between letters.
