The code snippets in the article bizarrely have text that is of several different font sizes. Is this some ide feature? Or is this just poorly edited together from screenshots at different sizes?

That's not how it looks for me on Chrome - the sizing is consistent. However the entire site is showing as a very rough-looking font, like the anti-aliasing is completely messed up. I assume we're both seeing font glitches of some kind.

Heh, opened in Chrome and the glitch I've is the line beneath the sections is shown above and some part below. On the other hand site looks perfect on Firefox.

Same (looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/MVcbb23). It looks like they have -webkit-font-smoothing: none; applied globally in their stylesheet.

are you using an ios device by any chance?

i got bit by this on my blog as well

I am that must be it. It looked very odd.

I'm not sure what's going on with this comment. The code snippets shown on the blog is editable, and is about the same size. If the size of the font is a bit different, it should not matter, because that isn't the point of what is being discussed. Unless you are referring to the animations, but then the point is to show the geometric shapes.

Perhaps you want to go to the GitHub page (https://github.com/l1mey112/v-2Dsoftbodies). Font sizes would all be uniform. But the blog has the animations to first see how it works.

Some of the code snippets have lines that vary in font size by a very noticeable amount in Safari on iPhone.

It’s definitely legitimate to ask what’s up with that

As mentioned, wasn't sure what was the issue, and had responded earlier. Also provided the GitHub link, to be helpful. It appears that some people do indeed have an issue, depending on their browser.

Thanks for the screenshots. This is what I was referring to. Glad to hear this is a browser issue.
