I'm more concerned that it's actually a 28-segment font and not 20 as stated in the description: 6 horizontals + 6 verticals + 4 diagonals × 4 = 28. ;^)
@Goatmeal It's possible to have discontinuous segments on certain mediums (like reflective LCDs) of segmented displays (like two parts of a vertical line being one segment)
@Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) - But is that the case here? And are not 'discontinuous segments' or 'parts' still segments, regardless of their final appearance? ;^)
@elliqvl You can't really have two diagonal segments one on top of another as that might be treated as if it were one X-shaped segment on some mediums (different segments seperated by less than 40 microns risk bleeding together (crosstalk) on LCDs)

Or maybe it was six because of the rotated square. Wait, actually, that would be ten…
this way?
@19521chaos can you expand the font?

@bwm if it were to be discontinuous segment, then 19521chaos could've merged pairs of diagonals...

@bwm i meant something like this
ok i didn't chekc on this in a while let me clarify
the diagonals are in fact discontinuous segments
then why do you call it 20 segment?
