Fonts:
A typeface consists of a co-ordinated set of
grapheme (i.e., character) designs. A typeface
usually comprises an alphabet of letters, numerals,
and punctuation marks. Helvetica, Century Schoolbook,
and Courier are three examples of typefaces.
A typeface may also include or consist of ideograms
and symbols (e.g., mathematical or map-making
glyphs). The art of designing typefaces, called
type design, is the occupation of a type designer.
In metal type, the word font denoted a complete
typeface in a particular size (usually measured
in points), one weight (e.g., light, book, bold,
black), and one orientation or angle (e.g. roman,
italic, oblique). As regards digital type, the
font is the computer file that stores the vector
paths, before they are brought into being on
a screen or a page. Digital fonts do contain
unlimited (or application-limited) sizes. Some
applications can create additional weights or
orientations of a font automatically, but these
are not considered typographically correct as
human inervention is required to make these
adjustments well. |
