#alignment:
How text lines up on a page or in a column: align left (flush left, ragged

(flush on both the left and right margins).

#baseline:
The baseline of a line of text is the lowermost point of letters, not
including descenders (the lower edges of "g" and "j" for instance).

Fr.: ligne de référence de base

#bit map:

specific number of dots per inch. PC Paint, GEM Paint, Windows Paint,

Microsoft Windows.

Fr.: presse-papiers

#crop:

invisible formatting codes created by some systems.

#flush:
See alignment.

Fr.: au fer, aligné

#flush left:
Text in which lines end at the same point on the left margin; opposite
of ragged left. Syn.: left justified.

Fr.: au fer à gauche, aligné à gauche

#flush right:
Text in which lines end at the same point on the right margin; opposite
of ragged right. Syn.: right justified.

Fr.: au fer à droite, aligné à droite

#font:
Or fount (GB). One complete set of characters in the same typeface and
size, including letters, punctuation, and symbols; 12-point Times Roman
is a different font from 12-point Times Italic, 14-point Times Roman, or
12-point Helvetica.

Fr.: fonte, police de caractères

#footer:
One or more lines of text that appear at the bottom of every page.

Fr.: pied de page, titre en bas de page

#generic font:
A screen representation of alphanumeric characters on a screen that may
not reflect what the final printed characters will look like.

#header:
One or more lines of text that appear at the top of every page of a

Hyphenation can be achieved in several ways: some programs let you insert
"discretionary" hyphens manually (hyphens that are visible only when they
fall at the end of a line); some programs insert hyphens automatically
based on a dictionary of words. Usually, dictionary hyphenation takes
longer than logical hyphenation but is more accurate.

#icon:
A functional graphic representation of a tool, file, or command displayed
on a screen.

opposite margin to accomodate binding.

Fr.: marge intérieure

#invert:
See reverse.

#justified text:
Text that is aligned flush at both the left and right edges.

Fr.: texte justifié

#kerning:
The amount of space between letters, especially certain combinations of
letters that must be brought closer together than others in order to
create visually consistent spacing among all letters. The letters AW may
appear to have a wider gap between them than the letters MN, for example,
unless there is a special kerning formula set up for the AW combination.

Fr.: crénage, réduction de l'espace entre caractères, resserrement des
approches

#landscape printing:
The rotation of a page design to print text and graphics horizontally
across the 11-inch width of the paper. See also portrait printing.

Fr.: impression à l'italienne, impression horizontale, format "paysage",
format oblong

#laser printing:
Used to describe printing with one of the toner-based laser printers
that are available for PCs. Some typesetters also use laser technology
in conjunction with their photochemical processing, but these are

#orphans/widows:
An orphan is formed when a short line -- usually the last line of a
paragraph -- falls at the top of a column or page. A widow is formed when
a single line -- usually the last line of a paragraph -- has fewer than
an agreed upon number of characters and hence does not meet the visual
standards of the publication. Widows and orphans are generally considered
not aesthetically pleasing by most publishers. Some packages let you set
up automatic controls for the minimum number of lines that can be
separated by a page break.

Fr.: orphelins/veuves

#phototypesetting:
Producing a page image on photosensitive paper, as when documents are
printed out on a Linotronic 100 or 300 typesetter. This process is
sometimes referred to as cold type to distinguish it from the older
method of casting characters, lines, or whole pages in lead known as
hot type.

Fr.: photocomposition

#pica:

8 1/2-inch-wide sheet of paper. See also landsacape printing.

#Postscript:
A page-description language used by Apple's Laser-Writer and other
high-resolution printers and typesetters.

Fr.: langage Postscript

#reverse:

page. Normally, text and graphics are black on a white background. When
reversed, they are white on a black background. Graphics can also be
reversed. This option is called "invert" on some systems.

Fr.: inversé, noir au blanc

#resolution:
The number of dots per inch (dpi) used to represent an alphanumeric
character or a graphic image. High-resolution images look smoother and
have more dots per inch than do low-resolution images. The resolution of
images displayed on the screen is usually lower than that of the final
laser printout. Laser printers print 300 dpi or more.

Fr.: résolution

#roman:
Upright (nonslanted) text styles, as distinguished from italic.

Fr.: romain

#rules or ruled lines:
Black lines of various styles that can be drawn on a page and set to
various thicknesses.

italic, outline, and shadow.

Fr.: style

#style-sheet:
A collection of type specs and format definitions that can be saved and
used in many different documents.

Fr.: feuille de style

#text wrap:
The ability to wrap text around graphic images on a page layout. Some
systems have an automatic text-wrap feature that will shorten lines of
text when a graphic is encountered. In other systems, you need to change
the length of lines by changing column margins or by inserting hard
carriage returns to shorten lines.

Fr.: habillage d'une image par du texte

#text-only document:
Text saved without any type specifications or other formatting.

Fr.: texte brut

#wysiwyg:
"What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get," or "whizzywig", is a term used to
describe systems that display full pages on the screen with text and

the display. The term is also used to describe a word-processing program
whose screen display attempts to represent the appearance of the printed
document.

Fr.: tel écran tel écrit, mode siamois
