The #IBM #Selectric Composer used a unit system of 9 glyph widths. I tried to adapt my FF Hertz Book #font to this unit system, and frankly it is a bit scary how well most glyphs fit out of the box. What’s going on in my mind? ;)

Some glyphs are problematic, like the r and the s that need to become very narrow, but that is a general problem with the Selectric Composer spacing.
