  • Micro Typography Part 1: Spacing
    MICRO TYPOGRAPHY PART 1 MICRO TYPOGRAPHY PART 1: SPACING Kerning :: Letter spacing :: Tracking :: Word Spacing Kerning :: Letter spacing :: Tracking :: Word Spacing KERNING Kerning is the act of adjusting the space between two characters to compensate for their relative shapes. It refers to removing space between two characters to restore the natural rhythm found among the characters in the rest of the text. If letters in a typeface are spaced mathematically even, they make a pattern that doesn’t look uniform enough. * Letter spacing: adding space between two characters within a word. Kerning :: Letter spacing :: Tracking :: Word Spacing KERNING: LETTER SHAPES There are four kinds of strokes that make up letter forms. These must be spaced in a logical, consistent manner to appear optically correct. The idea is to maintain comfortable optical volumes (figure/ground) between letter forms. Each letter should “flirt” with the one next to it. Kerning :: Letter spacing :: Tracking :: Word Spacing KERNING: LETTER SHAPES Here are the extreme spacing limits for combining stroke types. You can build your own letter spacing system for the other stroke combinations. Kerning :: Letter spacing :: Tracking :: Word Spacing KERNING PAIRS Kerning pairs are a pair of letters whose shapes (and negative space around those shapes) cause them to need a kerning adjustment. Sample letters which always need kerning: W, Y, V, T, L, O. Sample letter pairs which always need adjusting: Wy, Ae, Yo, Te, Wo. Often kerning happens between upper and lower case letters and

  • The Selnolig Package: Selective Suppression of Typographic Ligatures*
    The selnolig package: Selective suppression of typographic ligatures* Mico Loretan† 2015/10/26 Abstract The selnolig package suppresses typographic ligatures selectively, i.e., based on predefined search patterns. The search patterns focus on ligatures deemed inappropriate because they span morpheme boundaries. For example, the word shelfful, which is mentioned in the TEXbook as a word for which the ff ligature might be inappropriate, is automatically typeset as shelfful rather than as shelfful. For English and German language documents, the selnolig package provides extensive rules for the selective suppression of so-called “common” ligatures. These comprise the ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl ligatures as well as the ft and fft ligatures. Other f-ligatures, such as fb, fh, fj and fk, are suppressed globally, while making exceptions for names and words of non-English/German origin, such as Kafka and fjord. For English language documents, the package further provides ligature suppression rules for a number of so-called “discretionary” or “rare” ligatures, such as ct, st, and sp. The selnolig package requires use of the LuaLATEX format provided by a recent TEX distribution, e.g., TEXLive 2013 and MiKTEX 2.9. Contents 1 Introduction ........................................... 1 2 I’m in a hurry! How do I start using this package? . 3 2.1 How do I load the selnolig package? . 3 2.2 Any hints on how to get started with LuaLATEX?...................... 4 2.3 Anything else I need to do or know? . 5 3 The selnolig package’s approach to breaking up ligatures . 6 3.1 Free, derivational, and inflectional morphemes .

  • The Deer Scroll by Kōetsu and Sōtatsu
    The Deer Scroll by Kōetsu and Sōtatsu Reappraised Golden Week Lecture Series— Four Masterpieces of Japanese Painting: A Symposium Miyeko Murase, Former Consultant for Japanese Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Takeo and Itsuko Atsumi Professor Emerita, Columbia University Poem Scroll with Deer (part), Hon’ami Kōestu and Tawaraya Sōtatsu, early 17th century, handscroll, ink, gold and silver on paper, 13 3/8 x 372 in., Gift of Mrs. E. Frederick, 51.127 It has been quite some years since I last spoke here at this museum, so many in fact that I have lost count. It is really wonderful to be back, and I want to thank director Mimi Gates and curator Yukiko Shirahara, who invited me to speak today on the world-famous Deer Scroll by Sōtatsu and Kōetsu. This proud possession of the Seattle Art Museum is one of the most beautiful paintings ever created by Japanese artists.1 The scroll just came back from Japan after extensive restorative work. Although the handscroll itself does not bear any title, it is generally known as the Deer Scroll because the entire scroll is filled with images of deer, which are shown either singly, in couples, or in large herds. The animals are painted only in gold and/or silver ink, as is the very simple setting of sky, mist, and ground. As you may have noticed, these beautiful pictures of deer are really a background for the equally exquisite writings of waka poems in black ink. Here we have a symphony of three arts - poetry, painting, and calligraphy - as a testimonial to the ancient credo of Asia that these three arts occupy an equally important place in life and culture.

  • Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word South Puget Sound Community College Student Computing Center Written By: Chris Dorn
    Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word South Puget Sound Community College Student Computing Center Written by: Chris Dorn A header is the top margin of each page, and a footer is the bottom margin of each page. Headers and footers are useful for including material that you want to appear on every page of a document such as your name, the title of the document, or page numbers. This tutorial explains how to insert headers and footers, how to have a different header on the first page, and how to create different headers in different sections. Inserting Headers and Footers To insert a header or footer, first go to the Insert tab and select the desired option. Clicking either of these icons will display a dropdown menu with several options. SPSCC Student Computing Center__Headers and Footers __1 If you just want to add a simple header such as a title or your last name, you can choose the first option. This will bring the cursor into the header. Notice, too, that a new tab appears on the ribbon. This Design tab allows you to change certain features of the header such as the header position and page number. Design tab You can type here Once you are in the top (or bottom) margin, you can change the text formatting of the header (or footer) the same way that you would change formatting in the body of the document. For instance, if you want to center your header, you can go to the Home tab and select the center alignment icon in the Paragraph group, as pictured below: Centered header SPSCC Student Computing Center__Headers and Footers __2 Having a Different First Page Header Sometimes you may be asked to have a header that does not appear on the first page.
