		In typography, the process of estimating the point size and leading in which a particular piece of copy will need to be set to fit in a (usually) predetermined amount of space.
		In typography, a blank space of a fixed increment, used where a constant-width blank space is required, since typographic word spaces vary in width according to the justification needs of a line.
		In typography, the term refers to the space between columns of type, usually determined by the number and width of columns and the overall width of the area to be filled.

	Patent 5757383: Method and system for highlighting typography along a geometric path
		For typography formed along a geometric path, however, the graphics systems blocks the typography in a field of non-continuous highlighting that is broken on each character or symbol.
		2, the typography 30 is shown positioned along a geometric path 32, which serves as the baseline for the typography 30.
		Because the typography 30 is slanted due to italics, the bottom line-segment 104 extends from x-position 30 in (x,y) coordinate space, to x-position 275, while the top line-segment extends from x-position 33 to x-position 278.

		The baseline is the line where the bottom of the characters line up.
		It is hard to argue with the value of good typography when you see the difference between the original and the one which uses typography methods.
		Typography is often seen as as a perfectionist obsession, but when you see the difference a little work can make to a page, you will never treat type casually again.

	Typeface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In typography, a typeface is a co-ordinated set of Graphemecharacter designs, which usually comprises an alphabet of letters, a set of numerals and a set of punctuation marks.
		The distance between the baseline and the lowest descending glyph in a typeface is called the ''descent'', and the part of a glyph that descends the baseline is known as the descender.
		Conversely, the distance between the baseline and the top of the glyph that reaches farthest from the baseline is called the ''ascent''.

		You can use baseline shift to move the type up off the path, and you can give the path a stroke (make sure you use the Direct Selection tool, or the type gets a stroke, too).
		By using baseline shift to move the type up, you can create a colored stroke using the same path the type is on.
		The keyboard shortcut for raising and lowering baseline shift is (Option-Shift-up arrow)[Alt-Shift-up arrow] and (Option-Shift-down arrow)[Alt-Shift-down arrow], respectively.

	Microsoft Typography - OpenType Layout baseline tags
		A registered baseline tag has a specific meaning when used in the horizontal writing direction (used in the 'BASE' table's HorizAxis table), vertical writing direction (used in the 'BASE' table's VertAxis table), or both, and conveys information to font users about a baseline's use.
		For example, the "romn" baseline tag is commonly used to identify the baseline to layout Latin text in the horizontal, vertical, or both directions for Latin text layout.
		All baseline tags are 4-byte character strings composed of a limited set of ASCII characters in the 0x20-0x7E range.

	Metric typographic units
		The baselines of text become neatly aligned with a millimeter grid, and if millimeters are used to describe both font size and font height, their relationship becomes easier to handle than if different units such as mm and points were used.
		One writes âCourier 6.0â to get the Courier font designed for 6 mm baseline distance (where the height of an H is typically 4.3 mm or 12.2 pt), and one writes âCourier 6.0/9.0â to get the same font but to use it with 50% more space between the lines.
		Recommended baseline distances are often related to the x-height (2 seems to be a very common factor), therefore using the x-height as a reference dimension will in practice often also lead to round measurements for the baseline distance.
