	[No title]
		You might wonder, therefore, what the point of a grammar is. It turns out that a floating point number is an unusually simple structure in one very specific respect.
		It is not even entirely absurd to imagine floating point numbers with such a a grammar (whatever language had them would not be Python, however).
		But for "extended" floating point terms, the regular expression would need to substitute the entire 'pat' regular expression in place of '\d+'.

	learn Typography and Page Layout - the Point System, a free Tutorial
		Since the point system is interrelated, the em is commonly used as a substitute for the pica but care must be taken when specifying what it is you want.
		In most type families the em space is designed as a square of the point size, another fixed space associated with the em is the 'en' which is proportionately half the width of the 'em' and the 'thin' space which is either one-third or one-quarter of the width of the em.
		Point size is only the expression used for the distance between ascender and descender and as such cannot describe the proportional relationship of any type face's x-height to its ascenders and descenders.

		Anglo-Saxon point which is about 1/72.272" has been used on the island of the United Kingdom and on the American continent.
		Metric typography as described in the new German draft standard DIN 16507-2 works roughly as follows: absolutely everything is measured and specified in millimeters.

	Alex Poole - Literature Review - Serif vs. Sans Serif Legibility
		Point size is perhaps the element most used to describe the legibility of a type face, but it can also be the most deceptive.
		Point size is a legacy from the letterpress system, where each letter is held on a small metal block.
		They point out that of 123 statements about typography in Burt's book, only three - 3 - were either supported by data or by reference to named sources (Rooum, 1981; Hartley and Rooum, 1983; in Lund, 1995).

	Typography
		Typography is the selection and arrangement of typefaces, sizes, and spacing on a printed publication or web page.
		Typography has a major impact on the overall look and image of your page and its overall quality.
		It is measured in points and is expressed as the sum of the type size and the space between the two lines.

		A point is the basic measure of font size, usually considered to be about 1/72 of an inch.
		A Postscript point is derived from Postscript®, a proprietary "page description language" based on work originally done by John Gaffney and finally implemented in its current form by John Warnock et al.
		A Truchet point is an obsolete variant of the point.

	Typography and Page Design
		Typography is mainly concerned with the style and size of typefaces.
		A similar point can be made for variable-width fonts: because they bind letter groups more snugly (and thus make the resulting text seem slightly more cohesive), most readers prefer them to fixed-width fonts.
		Hence 72- point type is one inch in hight--as measured from the top of the ascender (e.g., the rising stroke in "l") to the bottom of the descender (e.g., the plunging stroke in "p").

	Typography (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Font size is usually expressed in a number of “points.” A point is a printer’s measurement, equal to 1/12 a pica, or 1/72 of an inch.
		Point size is the approximate distance from the top of a font’s tallest character to the bottom of its lowest character.
		In such cases, fonts are not measured by point size, but by characters per inch (cpi), referred to as pitch.

	Five simple steps to better typography : Journal : Mark Boulton
		Typography, I find, is still a bit of mystery to a lot of designers.
		The kind of typography I'm talking about is not your typical "What font should I use" typography but rather your "knowing your hanging punctuation from your em-dash" typography.
		One picky point: if you’re using reverse type to design for print, you’re asking for trouble if you reduce the weight too much (descenders and other letter elements may become too narrow to print well).

	Pixel Principles -- Principles of Typography
		The quality of the typography available runs from excellent to horrible and care should be taken by the designer to chose a type face that has acceptable kerning and proportions.
		Type size is measured in points, a system standardized by Pierre Fournier in the 1700s.
		The pica-point system as compared to the inch allows 6 points to an inch, 12 points to a pica, and 72 points to an inch.

		They pointed out that using two letters to represent a single sound is inefficient both for the amount of paper used and in the amount of time for compositors to create a page.
		2 points of linespacing appears to be the critical amount of extra space needed to separate lines, as 2 points was also optimal for both 8 and 12 point text sizes.
		Setting this option allows for the line spacing always to be a multiple of the point size you are using, so changing the size of the text in your current document will not result in line spacing that is too tight.

	Digital Web Magazine - Alien Typography
		While the basics of good typography are valid regardless of the medium, other approaches have to be adopted for any specific medium.
		Where the print typographer will usually go out of his or her way to force the lining-up of text in columns, such alignments are not such a good idea in stone, because they create structural weakness causing the material to split, either at the time of carving or some short time afterwards.
		It was at this point that I first realised that typographic design is not necessarily confined to books or print.

	Wikinfo \| Point
		In navigation, especially at sea, a point is defined as one eighth of a right angle, and therefore equals exactly 11.25 degrees.
		For example, a bearing of northwest by north differs by one point from a northwest bearing, and by a point from a north-northwest one.
		In typography, a point is approximately 1/72 inch; on computer displays it is often the height of one or four pixels.

	Metric typographic units
		As a result, the use of standard units is far from well established in digital typography, to the significant annoyance of users all over the world.
		Note: the point sizes of US fonts do not always refer to the k/H height that is defined by DIN as the font height.
		Conversion to archaic units like the inch and the various points should only be an add-on feature in the user interface on top of an underlying purely metric architecture, and not the other way round.

	TYPOGRAPHY: Type size
		You can also use points to define your type sizes, but bear in mind that this carryover from the print medium has little meaning on a computer screen.
		Still, points are familiar and, though variable, offer some means of declaring the relative size of type elements.
		Just remember that declaring your type in points does not mean that the point size you specify is what will actually display on the user's monitor.

	Rules of Typography: Part III (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Of course it depends on the typeface, but generally a reduction of 1–1.5 points is sufficient for text 11 points and smaller.
		It’s easier, however, to type text from the regular font in all uppercase and then select it and reduce its point size, than it is to change to the small cap font, type the text, and then change it back to the regular font.
		Word’s expand setting, on the other hand, is a fixed value entered in points, so the amount of space it adds is the same regardless whether your text is 10 points or 100 points.

	Interface: The Journal for Education, Community, and Values
		Reliable and objective data in the field of web-based typography, specifically to find which typographical controls (typeface, leading, line-length, etc.) have the biggest impact on learning and retention, is not abundant.
		Limiting such searches to a post-2000 publication year (an arbitrary point in the Web's history where the technology to control the presentation of type was accessible to designers) returns less than 30 results.
		That said, those in the field are adamant that conscientious typography can have a measurable impact on (no surprise) the readability of web content and (more importantly) the ability of the reader to comprehend and retain the content.

		Such blind adherence has lead to uniformity in website typography, and a situation that, without specific attention, results in unix-based visitors being left out in the cold of the generic fallback.
