FONT FAMILY: A set of similar fonts. For example Garamond and Garamond Italic are
different fonts from the same Garamond family.
JUSTIFICATION: An alternative way of describing text alignment. Left aligned text is
sometimes called left justified, or flush-left, or ragged right.
MONOSPACED: All the individual characters of a monospaced font have the same width.
Sometimes referred to a fixed width fonts. Useful for program listings. Courier is the most
common monospaced font. Most fonts are proportional spaced fonts, meaning the
characters vary in width.
POINT: Text or font sizes are traditionally measured in points, abbreviated to pt. 1pt is
approximately 1/72nd inch, so 72pt text is approximately 1inch tall, although different
fonts of a given size can vary.
