Italian term or phrase: carattere di stampa
Dear all,

another question from the same series:

I am translating a forensic document examination report. In the section describing the methods used for the examination, the report contains the following:
===
Esame documentale (allineamenti/tabulazioni, interlinea, ... ***corpo/carattere di stampa***)
===
Most probably, this is an easy question, but anyway:
what does "carattere di stampa" mean?

Thank you very much in advance,
Igor Timko.
