Measure copy/text in points, using a line gauge.

Measurement should be made using

  • a line gauge to measure copy/text in points and picas
  • a common point size-comparison gauge (type-sizing gauge).

Process/Skill Questions:

  • When measuring copy/text, why is a line gauge easier to use than a standard ruler?
  • How is using an e-scale different from using a line gauge in measuring type?
