  • Billing Code 4210-67P DEPARTMENT of HOUSING and URBAN DEVELOPMENT
    This document is scheduled to be published in the 1 Federal Register on 10 /03/2013 and available online at http://federalregister.gov/a/2013-24155, and on FDsys.gov Billing Code 4210-67p DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT [Docket No. FR-5725-N-02] Final Fair Market Rents for the Housing Choice Voucher Program and Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy Program Fiscal Year 2014 AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research, HUD. ACTION: Notice of Final Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Fair Market Rents (FMRs). SUMMARY: Section 8(c)(1) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (USHA) requires the Secretary to publish FMRs periodically, but not less than annually, adjusted to be effective on October 1 of each year. This notice publishes the FMRs for the Housing Choice Voucher, the Moderate Rehabilitation, the project-based voucher, and any other programs requiring their use. Today’s notice provides final FY 2014 FMRs for all areas that reflect the estimated 40th and 50th percentile rent levels trended to April 1, 2014. The FY 2014 FMRs are based on 5-year, 2007-2011 data collected by the American Community Survey (ACS). These data are updated by one-year recent-mover 2011 ACS data for areas where statistically valid one-year ACS data are available. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rent and utility indexes are used to further update the data from 2011 to the end of 2012. HUD continues to use ACS data in different ways according to the statistical reliability of rent estimates for areas of different population sizes and counts of rental units.

  • Lecture 11 – Typography
    Typography Steven R. Bagley Introduction • Looked at the beginning at representing text in a computer • And then how to describe the appearance of a page • Now going to start to looking at how to convert from text to into a PDL • Formatting algorithms Formatting • At its most basic formatting text is breaking it into words and fitting them into a space forming lines • But it turns out its a hard problem to solve • Because the text has to look nice • And computers don’t do nice… Formatting • Lots of parameters that affect formatting • All of which are interrelated, so changing one may require you to change another • And the effects are psychological affecting the readability of a block of text Formatting • Goal is to be able to quantify good layout • Computer can then select one layout over another • To do that we’re going to need to understand what makes good text layout • And so understand the lingo of typography • A lot of the terms are steeped in history… Mainly from hot-metal typesetting… Show face to face with progress ;) Measurements • Basic units of measurement in typography are the point and the pica • Derived from the inch • Point is 1/72 inch • Traditionally, has been slightly less but now rounded to 1/72 • Pica is a 1/12 inch (or 6pts) ~1/72.27 So 12 point text is 1pica high Measurements • These are absolute measurements • It’s also useful to have measurements that are relative to the current point size • Particularly used for horizontal spacing to remain proportional as the font gets bigger em and en • One such relative measurement is the em • Specified as being the same as the point size • Also have the en which is half the point size • Will also see references to M/3, M/4 and M/5 Character size • The size of text is referred to the point size (and not font size) • Describes the distance from baseline to baseline when text is set solid • That is when the bits of metal type are abutted together Letterforms have tone, timbre character, just as words and sentences do.

  • 2.1 Typography
    Working With Type FUN ROB MELTON BENSON POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOOL WITH PORTLAND, OREGON TYPE Points and picas If you are trying to measure something very short or very thin, then inches are not precise enough. Originally English printers devised picas to precisely measure the width of type and points to precise- ly measure the height of type. Now those terms are used interchangeably. There are 12 points in one pica, 6 picas in one inch — or 72 points in one inch. This is a 1-point line (or rule). 72 of these would be one inch thick. This is a 12-point rule. It is 1 pica thick. Six of these would be one inch thick. POINTS PICAS INCHES Thickness of rules I Lengths of rules Lengths of stories I Sizes of type (headlines, text, IWidths of text, photos, cutlines, IDepths of photos and ads cutlines, etc.) gutters, etc. (though some publications use IAll measurements smaller than picas for photo depths) a pica. Type sizes Type is measured in points. Body type is 7–12 point type, while display type starts at 14 point and goes to 127 point type. Traditionally, standard point sizes are 14, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 and 72. Using a personal computer, you can create headlines in one-point increments beginning at 4 point and going up to 650 point. Most page designers still begin with these standard sizes. The biggest headline you are likely to see is a 72 pt. head and it is generally reserved for big stories on broadsheet newspapers.
