what are the rules on putting a space between numbers and units? such as 5mm. or 5 mm. sometimes spacing looks right and sometimes it doesn't. 5mm makes sense, but 5ft doesn't.
- ali0
no space

although on a technical drawing a space would be better

on any unit? g, oz, ft? for some reason metric looks right, but imperial looks like shit. maybe because it's retarded to begin with.
- ali0
maybe a half kerned space on the imperial

I prefer no space.
If you think 5ft looks retarded maybe use the ' and " marks.

5mm or 5 mm? But not 5ft? What are you on about?

and it's a fiver's worth of something rough. :)
