Yes, but it's a very robust retro camera.

Strictly speaking, you may argue whether it is a 'camera (obscura)' at all.
Where is the black room where you cannot see anything? The 'hidden chamber'?
The very most you can say about today's electronic cameras with live viewing, picked up from the same sensor that is used when preserving an image is that the entrance (through the lens) has black walls, to minimize reflections and stray light. There is no chamber where everything is obscure due to lack of light.
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

It seems impossible to get a fraction with more than 10 in the denominator from these fonts. Certainly someone has produced such a font.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I don't have a specific recommendation but I go to fontsquirrel.com to get my fonts.
Check out my IoT graphics library here:
https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx
And my IoT UI/User Experience library here:

Do the fractions you want exist in Unicode? I would think that if not, then no font will have them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For really complicated math things, I use Latex and embed the generated PDF extract into my Word doc.
|

Are you using Unicode?
If so, there is a set of codepoints for the most common fractions: β β
β
β
β
β
β
ΒΌ β
Β½ β
β
β
β
ΒΎ β
β
β
β
But Unicode also has the possibility of using super and subscript making it possible to create any fraction, such as Β²Β³Β³βββ
β.
There are several generators on the net, for example: Unicode Fraction Converter
|
|
|
|
|
Β³βββ
Is not one unicode character but can be achieved. I used Unicode Fraction Creator[^]
[EDIT] sorry I saw such an example was already posted :p

I know it's a joke, but I just wanna say... the vast, vast majority of millionaires are self made.

β¦ the vast majority of billionaires are self-made snake oil salesmen.
FTFY.
Eg. Oracle and SAP.
And Elon Musk with his self-driving automobiles.

Funny you didnβt mention Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos. Itβs always the same old story with people like you, never have anything nice to say. Quick to insult. And apparently hate anyone with money.
I could list some of the great things Musk did, for instance. But, Iβd bet youβd still hate him because of your programming. And I have zero delusions.
This is the part where you disagreeβ¦ because thatβs all people do online.
Also, a billionaire and a millionaire are not the same thing. You took this post and perverted it into something bad. Shame on you.

I haven't followed Gates, but Bezos deserves all the scorn that can be heaped on him for his continual lawsuits against NASA and SpaceX. And no, I'm not a Musk fan, but Blue Origin has yet to deliver any orbital systems and SpaceX has not one, but two orbital class rocket systems now. Every time BO has lost a NASA contract they've filed a lawsuit against NASA over their losing the contract to SpaceX.

Thanks for bringing some intelligence to this chat. I'm actually a fan of Musk and welcome any criticism as long as it's not politically charged, biased, etc. Nobody is perfect. I simply wish people wouldn't hate based on what TV tells them to hate when it's the thing to do.
I upvoted you btw, because at least you're talking like you paid attention.

I changed my reply from millionaires to billionaires because anyone who had bought a house in the 1990s is probably a millionaire today merely because of the inflation in the price of homes. (My home was NOT in California which is seeing hyper-inflation in home prices.)
To add to that, maxed-out contributions to 401(k) and purchasing company stock through stock purchase plans add to oneβs wealth. Anybody in the tech business in the US can become a millionaire by the time he retires, though a million dollars nowadays may not mean what it once did.
Anyone who starts his 401(k) plan at age 22 and continues for 45 years would certainly be a self-made millionaire and an ethical and honest one at that.
I compare these situations to those in power at Oracle or SAP. False promises that
are never kept, continuously forcing upgrades on customers that waste time and money, etc. SAP customers who have customized some of SAP functions to meet their specific requirements are told all of that would have to go by the wayside when they move to the cloud. What happens to their business? The attitude is: cut your feet if they donβt fit the shoe I have sold you.
I was working for a high-tech company that had 5 customers in 1996. The total number of customers it had in its entire history is maybe 1200 and its product portfolio over the companyβs life was 160. Our revenue was over $800 million so we were a cash cow. A Big 4 consultant recommended that we install SAP. If I had gone along with that, I could have become an SAP consultant a year later and billed out at $300 an hour. I couldnβt see why the company needed SAP. We were the reference site for all semiconductor companies without semiconductor foundries in the Bay Area for our hardware and software vendors. But the consultant asked for $13 million to advise me on how to implement SAP. Right there you could see the ethical conflict.
Read about Jeff Bezosβs warehouse workers who canβt even take a bathroom break. Read about the UPS drivers who carry a bottle to pee into. Read the horror stories
About the Oracle ERP implementation disaster at Birmingham City Council (UK). Then tell me that billionaires earn their money ethically. I will then know which way your ethical compass points.
