spacing rule was adjusted/adapted Explanation: Es wird eine wirkliche Regelung gemeint sein d.h. der Abstand hat so und so groß zu sein, es sei denn... und hier wird die Ausnahme begründet. -- Spacing rule The most important character with regard to spacing any figure, mathematical or monetary symbol is the zero. This is the model character most type designers use to space the rest of these groups. They are used in chains to test how the current character spaces between other straight or round stems. When spacing outlines, glyphs should be visually centered as opposed to mathematically. It is helpful in modern geometric designs to use a mathematical logic in spacing. In such a case the sidebearing values of round featured characters are mathematically the same and usually less than the flat characters values.

4 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1vertical white space adjustment Explanation: I would try to avoid the term spacing. After 10+ years in type design, I may be biased, but when I see the word spacing I immediately think character spacing (as evidenced by Robert's contribution). That's not what it is. If it can be referred to as spacing at all, it should be called line spacing. I was thinking of leading but that's not really correct either. It sort of works but as Freiraumregelung is a made-up word as well, I'd use a made-up term in English as well. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs 22 mins (2003-11-05 14:49:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I forgot - yes, Oberlängen are ascenders. And drop one of the as wells in the last sentence. |
