  • Typographic Alignment
    Typographic Alignment In typesetting and page layout, alignment or range, is the setting of text flow or image placement relative to a page, column (measure), table cell or tab. The type alignment setting is sometimes referred to as text alignment, text justification or type justification. Basic variations There are four basic typographic alignments: ▪ Flush left—the text is aligned along the left margin or gutter, also known as left-aligned or ragged right; ▪ Flush right—the text is aligned along the right margin or gutter, also known as right-aligned or ragged left; ▪ Justified—text is aligned along the left margin, and letter- and word-spacing is adjusted so that the text falls flush with both margins, also known as fully justified or full justification; ▪ Centered—text is aligned to neither the left nor right margin; there is an even gap on each side of each line. Note that alignment does not change the direction in which text is read; however text direction may determine the most commonly used alignment for that script. Flush left In English and most European languages where words are read left-to-right, text is often aligned ‘flush left’, meaning that the text of a paragraph is aligned on the left-hand side with the right- hand side ragged. This is the default style of text alignment on the World Wide Web for left-to-right text. Quotations are often indented. Flush right In other languages that read text right-to-left, such as Arabic and Hebrew, text is commonly aligned ‘flush right’. Additionally, flush- right alignment is used to set off special text in English, such as attributions to authors of quotes printed in books and magazines, and is often used when formatting tables of data.

  • The Ultimate Guide to Basic Typography
    Name: Media Communications | Graphic Design Basics Read the following information and answer the questions on page 9. ​ ​ The Ultimate Guide to Basic Typography Learn the essential terms in the world of typography. In this article, we'll clarify a few misused terms, touch on figures and symbols, and explain some indispensable typesetting terminology. In the world of typography and design, there are innumerable terms that are necessary for beginner designers to know. A few of these terms are widely confused and misused. In this Ultimate Guide to Basic Typography, I’ve gathered some essential terms you need to know. I'll go through some of the basic misunderstood terms, like the difference between typeface and font. I'll also touch on the different font file types, explain the different type of figures and symbols, and explain some essential typesetting details. Typeface vs. Font One of the most common mistakes when talking about type is mixing up the terms "typeface" and "font". The distinction between these terms can be slightly confusing, so let’s talk about their different meanings. A typeface is a group of characters that share a common DNA. For example, Alegreya Sans is a ​ ​ different typeface from Rockwell Std. A font is a particular set of glyphs within a typeface. For instance, 12 pt Franklin Gothic URW ​ ​ Light is a different font from 14 pt Franklin Gothic URW Light. You’d use the same definition if you are talking about different weights—12 pt Franklin Gothic URW Light is different from 18 pt Franklin Gothic URW Book. For many centuries, text was set individually by hand, and each letter would be a small piece of cast metal.

  • Outline Font Extensions for Arabic Typesetting
    Outline font extensions for Arabic typesetting Karel P´ıˇska Institute of Physics, Academy of Sciences 182 21 Prague, Czech Republic piska (at) fzu dot cz Abstract The contribution demonstrates applications of the programs FontForge (by George Williams) and MetaType1 (by Bogus law Jackowski et al.) for develop- ment and maintenance of outline versions of Arabic fonts and shows tools for glyph transformations. Generating of stretchable glyphs is also discussed. Build- ing of Type 1 fonts for Arabic typesetting with MetaType1 (“LM-ization”) is under development process. 1 Introduction The current text describes selected “technical tech- niques” of creating, modifying and maintaining out- line fonts for use with Arabic typography. We start with some font adaptations and modi- fications using FontForge for relatively simple glyph transformations. Executing more complex changes would be inefficient. Figure 1: Flip twice or rotate. The next examples demonstrate representation of glyphs in MetaType1 (in fact, it is METAPOST), font modifications and some results of Type 1 fonts "ArabicMathCMEX10"); dynamically generated by MetaType1.
