ILT: Type Terminology Essay

[mwenz]

one of my favorite web sites is I Love Typography. in perusing some older entries, I ran across one on terminology that goes beyond simple dictionary entries.

also while there, i happened upon his open office document he uses when designing typefaces to quickly look for letter pair kerning issues. in the zip, there is an odt, docx, and doc. you can simply highlight all the text and change the font you are designing, or, better yet, alter the paragraph style and save as your font's name so you can more quickly review pairs after working on kerning.

take care, mike
