		Typography, I find, is still a bit of mystery to a lot of designers.

		The general rule of thumb in tracking your words (not the characters) is that the shorter the line length the tighter the tracking, the opposite is also true.

		Typography is not simply typing words into a program like illustrator or indesign and then choosing a funky font.

	Rules of Typography: Part III
		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.
		If your word processor doesn’t have a tracking command, you should leave the text as is. Don’t add letterspacing by typing the Space Bar between letters.

		Applying the rules of typography to the web is a very difficult task.
		There is no option for leading, tracking, kerning, adjusting space between paragraphs or indentation.

		Just as typography is more than the use of different typefaces, foreign-language typography requires more than having the typefaces with the correct accents.
