'Arial Font' is an example of 'sans serif'. 'Sans' is french for 'without'. The serif is for the added bits that are attached to letters. So the text I am currently writing this answer in is 'Sans Serif'.

An example of a serif font is Times New Roman. Compare the two sentences above. There are differences in the letter's 'T', 'b' and 'k'. They have added lines on the tops of the lines that make up the letters. These are called 'serif's.

The above answer FAILS because the webpage translates both sentences into a san serif, so you can't see the difference.

Serifs are the little feef and hands added to the end of all the lines in an individual letter, originally added to prevent ink from running and causing blobs on the ends on each line.

The most appropriate font for Latin tattoos is any of those that have the appearance of engraved lettering: good fonts to try first are Castellar, Engravers MT and Perpetua Titling MT. Latin phrases should typically be printed in capitals, and one should take care to ensure that 'u' as well as 'v' appears in capitals as 'V', not 'U'. It is worth contacting a professional Latin translation website for further information and ideas, like Classical Turns (http://www.classicalturns.com).

I don't think that's a real font. I think it's just a custom font they used.

You may have to try to create the font yourself using either an external font-creating program or by going to FontStruct.com.

The poor Richard font is based on the typeface designed by Keystone Type Foundry used in Poor Richard's Almanac by Benjamin Franklin. This is an updated computer font family provide by Rabbit Reproductions Typefoundry based on the characters from that old 1919 typeface.

well there is no evidence to prove what they thought of it , i would say that because not alot of people could read or write so they would of been very impressed with the end letter, they also strove for prefection i hope this was some help but i learnt this at school i hope it helps :)

Upper and lower case is a reference to the way Typesetters store their letters. Capital letters were stored in the Upper drawers and the regular letters in the lower drawers. Hence, if they requested an Upper case "L" it meant they wanted a capital "L".

Lowercase and upper case letters refer to how a letter is written - as a capital letter ("A" for example) or as a small, lowercase, letter ("a" for example).

Here are all the capital letters in the alphabet: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Here are the same letters as lowercase: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Upper case (capital) letters are used to begin sentences and for proper nouns, such as names.

Although I'm no expert on the subject, I did a fair amount of block printing back during the 60s and early 70s. To begin to understand the process, first think of a small cube of wood, say two inches by two inches, by two inches. Also imagine that the faces are sanded so that each is a smooth flat plane [this is important so that all of the image gets transfered to the printing paper]. Then imagine [actually you can practice this explanation to help your understanding] pressing one of those smooth faces firmly onto an ink pad, like is used for office stamps, to get the face "inked up." Then firmly press that inked face onto a clean sheet of paper. When the block is removed, there will be a two inch square image [the full face of the block] imprinted on the paper. Now imagine drawing a one inch diameter circle on one of the faces, and then, using an Exacto Knife, or any other method of cutting away of the wood, and trim off about an 8th of an inch of wood, all around the outside of the circle. That will leave a round flat surface standing above the newly cut face of the block. When that face of the block is inked, as in the first example, and again pressed onto the sheet of paper, it will leave an image which will be a round, fully filled in circle. Now imagine cutting a star pattern and a rectangle pattern on another face of the block. The inked image from that carving will be a star and a rectangle printed at the same time. Using this technique, amazingly fine art prints can be made. The only critical points to this basically simple process are: 1. The "printing," or contact surfaces of the different images on the same face of the block MUST be in the same smooth plane in order to fully and evenly transfer the ink [image] when pressed to the paper. 2. Also, if doing any object for which left to right orientation is necessary [such as letters or numbers] the image must be reversed when applied and cut into the block face. Since wood can be difficult to carve, this process is often done more easily using special blocks which usually can be bought already prepared at art supply stores. These are called "linoleum blocks." You can make your own by gluing smooth linoleum onto smooth, flat faces of any size block you want. It is much easier to carve the linoleum face and to remove material where you don't want ink to be picked up and where you don't want ink to print on the paper. I may have forgotton to cover some points, but with luck, an expert will come along to improve this answer. Don't worry about screwing it up, for if you start with free, simple, plain wood blocks from thrown away wood scraps, you can't really "ruin" anything, so just play around with the process until you get the hang of it. Good luck.

There are lots of ways people change, from the pain of loosing someone through death. From the pain that we felt because someone hurt us or break our heart. From the pain when someone lied to us. In reality we all change because of someone, not because we wanted to. We do change because we are trying to put a "shield" in our self so we will not be hurt anymore.

Font size is measured in points. 1 point = 1/72 of an inch. 12 point font is 12/72 inches high.

72-point font is 1 inch high.

Points are an old unit of measurements. They are the smallest measurement in the typographic system of measure. On a modern system, a point is 1/72nd of an inch (or around 0.357 mm.)

On the screen, this gets a little murky. Inches are hard to translate to the resolution of a computer screen, and so points are kept mainly in an effort to make people used to the measurement system comfortable.

Originally, a font-size was measured from the top to the bottom of the metal backing on the printer's letter. Now, fonts are normally measured from the top of their ascenders (like the top of a "k") to the bottom of the descenders (like the bottom of a "j".) A 12pt. font is a font that can be measured at 12pts, or a little less than 3/16ths of an inch.

If you click the grow font button too many times and make the font size too big, you can click a keyboard combination until the desired font is displayed. On a PC, click the ctrl and the minus symbol at the same time. On a Mac, press the Apple key and the minus symbol at the same time.

This is referred to as "font formatting."

Font size is how large text is.
Image size is how large an image, or picture, is.

Block lettering without the little lines highlighting the termination of the lines that comprise the individual letters. Sans is French language for "without".

You can find the Decrease/Increase Font button on the Home tab, to the right of the font type and number indicating the font size. The buttons will look like an upper case A with an up or down arrow next to them.
