Letter stroke, stroke of the letter Explanation: This is probably more for "written" letters, but it's the single stroke of a letter, which in turn is usually made of more than one stroke. HTH R. == |

typoghraphic ascender Explanation: In typography, an ascender is the portion of a minuscule letter in a Latin-derived alphabet that extends above the mean line of a font. That is, the part of a lower-case letter that is taller than the font's x-height. Ascenders, together with descenders, increase the recognizability of words. For this reason, British road signs no longer use all capital letters.[Wikipedia] Metrics - [ Traducir esta página ] The typographic ascender for this font.

| Reference: yypography strokes Reference information: It is worth comparing the definitions of these elements in the two languages, because there are slight differences in usage: • Descender: a vertical stem below the baseline in some lowercase letters; examples: p, q. • Extender: a stroke that reaches above the x-height or below the baseline. Ascenders and descenders are extenders. • Stem: the main stroke of a letter. Not all letters have stems (c, C, s, S) and some might have two (H, M, N). Examples: b, B, l, L and Y. • Stroke: the main diagonal part of a letter, for example the thicker diagonal part in M, N, V, w, Y. Arms, crossbars, bowls and stems are considered strokes. • Tail: the end of the descending stroke in g, j, K, p, q, R, y. • Terminal: the connection, usually curved, between a stroke and a serif, for example, the bottom part of j, but also inside a letter (g). • X-height: the distance between the baseline and the top of a lowercase letter’s body. All the letters of the word xenia would be within x-height, except the dot of the i. http://bookpublishing.suite101.com/article.cfm/typesetting_e... Anillo: Es el asta curva cerrada que forman las letras "b, p y o". Ascendente: Asta que contiene la letra de caja baja y que sobresale por encima de la altura x, tales como las letras "b, d y k". Asta: Rasgo principal de la letra que la define como su forma o parte mas esencial. Astas montantes: Son las astas principales o oblicuas de una letra, tales como la "L, B, V o A". Asta ondulada o espina: Es el rasgo princial de la letra "S" en mayúscula o "s" en minúscula. Asta transversal: Rasgo horizontal de las letras "A, H, f o t". http://www.fotonostra.com/grafico/partescaracter.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2010-03-18 10:23:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- typography strokes! |
