I had to type some string of random characters to unlock a break.
And some of the characters I had to type were :"rn". It looked so much like a "m" that it took me a full 15 minutes to find the error. This is the second time this happens to me.
This is a common problem of typography.
There are some solutions. One is kerning:
Kerning is the process of adjusting character spacing for particular pairsof characters; sometimes it needs to be narrowed (as V and o shown here), and sometimes widened (e.g., to keep “rn” from looking too much like “m”).

Another solution would be to simply increase the space between each letters. This solution is simpler and efficient if the goal is not beautiful typography.
