Photoshop web design - Lesson 1 Learn About Type and How It
Lesson 1 Learn About Type and How It Is Created PHOTOSHOP 5-5 Symbol fonts are used to display unique characters (such as $, , or .). Table 1 lists commonly used serif and sans serif fonts. After you select the Horizontal Type Tool, you can change font families using the options bar. Measuring Type Size The size of each character within a font is measured in points. PostScript, a programming language that optimizes printed text and graphics, was introduced by Adobe in 1985. In PostScript measurement, one inch is equivalent to 72 points or six picas. Therefore, one pica is equivalent to 12 points. In traditional measurement, one inch is equivalent to 72.27 points. The default Photoshop type size is 12 points. In Photoshop, you have the option of using PostScript or traditional character measurement. Acquiring Fonts Your computer probably has many fonts installed on it, but no matter how many fonts you have, you probably can use more. Fonts can be purchased from private companies, individual designers, computer stores, catalog companies, on CD-ROM or over the Internet. Using your browser and your favorite search engine, you can locate Web sites that let you purchase or download fonts. Many Web sites offer specialty fonts, such as the Web site shown in Figure 1. Other Web sites offer these fonts free of charge or for a nominal fee.
