25 Questions

1. A typestyle in which the image face is darkened; used to call attention to the text on which it is used.

2. A mark like a circumflex, accent mark, cedilla, or umlaut, which is added to a letter to give it a special phonetic value, or to distinguish words which are otherwise graphically identical. Also called 'accent.'

3. A list of the individual documents that are included in a complete publication.

4. An indication of the difference between the thicker and thinner parts of characters in a typeface. Bodoni with its thin serifs and horizontal strokes and thick verticals, is a high contrast face. Helvetica (and most Egyptians) is a low contrast face.

5. A heavy, stroked typeface, in which the negative space of counters is minimized; appears thick and massive; calls attention to itself in contrast to regular text for emphasis.

6. A numeral from 0 through 9; can be set as Old Style or Lining Figures.

7. In Macintosh font menus, this is called Plain meaning text that has no style applied to it (i.e., Italic, Bold, Boldltalic). Roman fonts are upright thick-and-thin weighted, and usually serifed type. The classical Roman letter style began in A.D. 114 with letters chiseled in the stone of the Trajan Columns in Rome.

8. Group of typefaces with similar characteristics. For example, the sans serif typefaces Arial, Arial Bold, Arial Bold Italic, Arial Italic, Small Fonts, and MS Sans Serif are all part of the Swiss font family.

9. A typeset character (a large dot or symbol) used to itemize lists or direct attention to the beginning of a line. (See dingbat.)

10. First used in the 16th century, these typefaces imitate handwriting. Script letters and cursive typefaces appear to be drawn with pen and ink. Unlike script, however, cursive letters are not joined.

11. Spacing for type in which characters are not all the same width (i.e., an i would take less space than an m).

12. points per inch. Indicates the resolution of an image on a computer monitor. Images appear acceptably clear on a monitor screen at 72 ppi or greater.

13. Text that is aligned at both the left and right margins.

14. The overall letterspacing in text. Tracking can also be used to tighten or loosen a block of type. Some programs have automatic tracking options which can add or remove small increments of space between the characters. (See letterspacing.)

15. When a word in a line of text automatically moves to the next line as it approaches the right-hand margin of the text block.

16. Adobe System's page description language. Programs like Macromedia FreeHand and Adobe Illustrator use PostScript to create complex pages, text, and graphics onscreen. This language is then sent to the printer to produce high quality printed text and graphics.

17. A vertical bar in the text that indicates the location that any newly typed text will appear, or any deletions will be made. Also called the text cursor.

18. Usually serifed fonts set in sizes from 9 to 12 points, these typefaces are easier to read in large sections than display faces. Some examples include Times and Goudy Oldstyle. Also called 'bookface.'

19. The imaginary line which represents the uppermost part of capital letters and some character's ascenders. A line marking the height of uppercase letters within a font.

20. A method of placing text in an InDesign document in which text flows continuously into successive columns and pages. Additional pages will be created as needed.

21. A selection of type (word or phrase) that is set in larger or bolder type from the body-copy font for emphasis.

22. A hyphen inserted in a word indicating where InDesign can divide the word, if necessary, to fit the text on the line.

23. A shape in a font that is used to represent a character code on screen or paper, e.g. the shapes of A, B, C characters in a Roman font. The symbols and shapes in a font like ITC Zapf Dingbats are also glyphs.

24. A single line of a paragraph at the top of a page or column.

25. Printing one color over another, instead of knocking out the background color (see also knockout).
