Take the 2-minute tour ×  In UI design, one often has to work in
the confines of limited space and/or simply try to reduce overly
excessive descriptions and such.  Often, this results in using
slashes a lot. This/that type of thing.  I've been asked in the
past to add spaces to each side of a slash to give it some
'breathing' room and while at first this seemed wrong, I've also
grown to prefer it as an option.  An example:  Download/Print
PDF   Download / Print PDF  Some questions:    • Do you prefer
one over the other (and why?)   • Is the spaced-slash
acceptable? Am I committing a typographic faux pas?  Ideally,
one would kern/letterspace the slash and not use whole spaces,
but in the context of web dev, it's likely that rarely will out
content folks and/or developers spend time on that detail, so am
proposing the spaced option. It also offers the added benefit of
being more likely to wrap properly if need be.  share|improve
