   From time to time I like to print tings out and read them on paper.
   For that reason I tend to limit width to 80 columns and fonts to
   12 point or larger.  Also serif fonts can be more readable than
   sans-serif fonts.

   Fonts aren't a problem in most code editors, but printing 132c in
   landscape just doens't come out as legible as 80c in portrait.
