我有一个流畅的布局，但如果浏览器窗口被拉得太长，文本会变得很宽，以至于在 1 行上阅读这么长的句子是很奇怪的。文本的最大宽度是多少？我想这取决于字体大小。有某种公式或启发式吗？
目前我的特定情况下的字体是 serif 16px，但我很想知道不同字体和大小的最佳做法是什么。

最佳答案
Smashing Magazine 做了 a design study of popular blogs仅包含此类信息。您要查找的信息位于下面引用的第 2.2 节中。
2.2. How many characters per line?
To ensure best readability one needs to ensure comfortable reading. While some research results claim that an optimal line length is 52 – 68 characters per line (including punctuation marks and empty spaces), other studies show that even if the lines are getting longer it does not significantly affect usability. Since no rules of thumbs are provided, designers experiment with a variety of different line lengths.
To compute the max. number of characters per line we have used default setting of the browser as well as default typographic settings provided by the style sheets.
- 10% used 65-74 characters per line (PostSecret, Beppegrillo, Perez Hilton, Scobleizer, Blogoscoped)
- 18% used 75-84 characters per line (Dooce, Blogs.nytimes.com, Joystiq, CopyBlogger, TUAW, Slashfilm)
- 34% used 85-94 characters per line (Lifehacker, Huffington Post, Kottke, Ars Technica, Huffington Post, BoingBoing, Seth Godin, Treehugger, Problogger)
- 18% used 95-104 characters per line (Mashable, ReadWriteWeb, Smashing Magazine, Google Blog, A List Apart, Search Engine Land)
- 16% used over 105 characters per line (Engadget, TechCrunch, GigaOM, Wired, TMZ)
Based upon our findings we feel confident to suggest that the most usual (not necessarily most user-friendly) line length lies between 80 and 100 characters.
It is interesting to remark that not a single blog used justified text-alignment — 100% of the blogs used left text-alignment.
所以宽度并不重要，影响可读性的是字符数。
