READ ONLY MODE

I am tired of removing all that spam form my forum. So I switched it to read-only mode: It's not allowed anymore to add any new messages. Someday, I might install a new forum here which offers me better ways to keep out spam.
I'm sorry, but I've really had it.

----------

Ich hab nun endgültig die Schnauze voll davon, ständig irgendwelchen Spam aus dem Forum entfernen zu müssen. Also ist es ab sofort nicht mehr möglich, neue Beiträge im Forum zu hinterlassen. Vielleicht werde ich irgendwann in Zukunft ein neues Forum installieren, welches mir bessere Möglichkeiten bietet, Spam-Einträge von vorneherein draußen zu halten.
Tut mir leid, aber mir ging die Geschichte dermaßen auf die Nerven, dass ich keine Lust mehr auf dieses Forum gehabt habe.

minus sign is too short in ProFont, good in Sheldon

Since the minus sign character '-' is intended to be used as a dash (hyphen) in most fonts used for normal English text and, therefore, it is often too short for programming use. It looks ridiculous in expression, especially next to + signs. I was surprised to see that Pro Font's minus was so short while Sheldon's looks good. The crossbar of the minus sign should be the same width as + and at the same vertical position and weight as the plus's crossbar.

Which version of ProFont are you talking about?
Mac or Windows, Bitmap or TrueType…

Looks fine here on MacOS, ProFont bitmap version:

Tobias, I\'m sorry, I was going by the sample at http: slash slash www.lowing.org slash fonts slash which is a nice survey of programmer\'s fonts. However, I just tried the \"tweaked\" TTF version for Windows off your website and it has the same problem. I can email you a screen capture, if you are interested.
