  12. ░      set character expressed in points (a measure of 72    
  13. ░      points to the inch). Type is measured from the top    
  14. ░      of an ascender (or capital letter) to the bottom of   
  15. ░      a descender (e.g., a lower case y). Half point sizes

  18. █ 4.   Enter the leading.  Effectively, this measure is the  
  19. ░      space between lines; the value expressed represents   
  20. ░      the total of the point size plus the additional       
  21. ░      space. For example, 9 point type on 10 point leading  
  22. ▒      shows one point of extra space between the lines.     
  23. ▒      It is calculated by measuring from the baseline of    
  24. ░      one line of type to the baseline of the next line.
