if you remove half of every letter, which half leaves the words most legible? top? bottom? left? right?
@fibonacci_reminder I guess that makes sense
@Felthry For the latin script, for English, IMO deleting the left half of each letter retains the most readability, but it'd definitely still be confusing.
@fibonacci_reminder does it depend on font though? That's what I thought you meant at first by "it depends on script"; especially it would be different between serif and sans-serif fonts I imagine (cursive is another matter entirely)
@Felthry That makes sense. I imagine it would vary based on that as well.
@Felthry if it has to be split by a single line, do it diagonally from bottom-left to top-right
otherwise you could just chop off enough end bits to equal out to the remaining letter, but at that point it'd be more like a weird font
@Felthry I think generally the top half?
I've been able to read entire sentences from the very tops of letters because I was slowly scrolling them because I was anxious about the message itself.

Not 100% sure I got where the divisions were correctly, but...

@Felthry It varies script to script.
