Font Definitions
1. Kerning:the process of adjusting letter spacing in a proportional font. In a well-kerned font, the two-dimensional blank spaces between each pair of letters all have similar area.
2. Tracking:the process of uniformly increasing or decreasing the space between all letters in a block of text
3. Leading:refers to the amount of added vertical spacing between lines of type
4. Justification:the typographic alignment setting of text or images within a column or "measure" to align along both the left and right margin
5. Italics:refers to cursive typefaces based on a stylized form of calligraphic handwriting
6. Stroke:The main diagonal portion of a letterform such as in N, M, or Y is the stroke.
7. Glyph:the shape given in a particular typeface to a specific grapheme or symbol
8. Character:the art and techniques of type design, modifying type glyphs, and arranging type
9. Script:Script fonts are based on the Adobe PostScript language.
10. Ligature:occurs where two or more letter-forms are joined as a single glyph
11. Serif:are non-structural details on the ends of some of the strokes that make up letters and symbols
12. San-Serif:typeface is one that does not have the small features called "serifs" at the end of strokes
13. OpenType Fonts:several smartfont options which enhance the font's typographic and language support capabilities
14. TrueType Fonts:high degree of control over precisely how their fonts are displayed, right down to particular pixels, at various font heights
15. Post Script:an outline font standard
