For the first mentioned sequences based on fonts, what's the first number in the sequence that has less digits than the previous number?

  • It looks like that never occurs for Helvetica (A316600) due to the absence of kerning. However, with Arial (A316599) the description notes:

    > a(29368) = 111111 is a first notable anomaly, because its bounding box width of 2675 lies between those of a(29367) = 49115, with bounding box width 2655, and a(29369) = 70002, with bounding box width 2681.
