In English, fonts are classified into several groups. There are three main groups -

• Sarif
• Without Sarif

A serif is stated at the end of a stroke as "I". Some fonts show small features at the ends of the strokes as "serifs". Some common serif typefaces are Times New Roman and Garmond.

Without Sarif 

Sans Sarif means that there is no stroke in the font. Sans Sariftype faces include Arial, and Helvetica.

The script 

Script fonts recreate the visual style of calligraphy.

Font size

Font sizes help to increase and decrease the anatomical size of a font. Capital letters, such as typographic, are called "uppercase" letters. Similarly, all lowercase letters are called "lowercase" letters.

Ascend

Ascender is the part of the character that is above the baseline.

Descend 

Descender is the part of the character that is below the baseline.

Point Size

The font size is usually specified in point size. In typology, the smallest unit of measurement is a dot denoted as "PT".

1 point = 0.353 mm

1 point = 0.0139 inch

Leading 

Leading is the space between lines of text. Typography in digital files is the space between the leading baseline.

What are the columns and gutters in the pagemaker?

We often require the use of columns when creating newspapers and brochures in PageMaker. You can create columns manually by setting the width of your text block, so this process can be made easier by creating columns. As you create columns with PageMaker, a set of guides (like page margins) are added to the page. When you first create your document, its default is one column per page. PageMaker provides the option to create 20 columns on a page. There will be a "gutter" in the middle of each column. The gutter adds some white space between each column so text will not appear above the next column.

Note: If you want to set columns for all pages of your document, set them on the master page.

How to insert columns in PageMaker 7.0

• To create a column, first click on the Layout Menu and select the Column Guide option.
• This command creates a number of columns of equal width, fitting them within the margin of the page. If the text or graphics are already on the page, PageMaker can change them to align with the revised column setup if you select the adjust layout in the Column Guide dialog box.
• The Utilities> Plug in> Grid Manager command fits columns within any area you specify, or creates columns of a specified width.
• You can create up to 20 columns on a page.

How to Set Column on Page

• Go to the page or master page where you want the column.
• Choose Layout Menu> Column Guide. The Column Guide dialog box will open in front of you.
• Type the number of columns you want in the Number of Columns box and the space between the columns in the box with Space Between Columns (Gutter). If
• If you are setting the left and right pages separately, type the values ​​for both pages.
• If you want the existing text and graphics on the page to be adjusted in the column setup, select Adjust layout and then click Ok. PageMaker creates a specified number of columns, equally spaced and the same size.

What are the gutters in PageMaker 7.0?

There is an inside margin or blank space gutter between two facing pages. You have read many books and know how to connect the pages of the book. The two pages are joined together as if their writing is not lost.

To do this, on one side of the page (from which it should be attached to the other page) leave some empty space so that the things in the book are not hidden. Then use that empty space in the book binding.

Similarly, in the pagemaker, the gutter margin is left blank on one side of the page, if its hardcopy is taken out of the binding, then the text inside it is not hidden. This is why the gutter margin proves to be a good option.
