(över) point (type, body) size Explanation: The word kägel is interpreted by Gullberg as: point (type, body) size. Ie, relating to typography. Does this help? |

leading Explanation: kägel also means leading (another word for line spacing) in Engströms Technical Dictionary. After searching around a bit, it seems to me that "överkägel" is the space above a line of type (see ref's)but this in English is just referred to as the "leading above". Could you use that? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-12 14:46:07 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"leading (pronounced ledding) The distance from the baseline of one line of type and the baseline of another line of type immediately above or below it; also known as line spacing and usually measured in points. \" Reference: http://www.ccsn.nevada.edu/cg/kanet/grc129_web_page/129_dict...

peer agreement (net): +1leading Explanation: Can't give you the correct term in English but "överkägel" means leading to a value greater than the standard value. I.e. the distance between the lines is greater than the standard determined by letter size. This is according to my work mate who is a graphic designer. He also says that the term is rarely used these days. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-12 15:31:41 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Your suggestion \"kerning\" refers to the distance between individual letters, i.e. horizontal rather than vertical. |
