3. Den gode linjelængde: max. 65 enheder Flere undersøgelser peger på, at en spaltebredder, der i gennemsnit indeholder flere end 6 enheder, er vanskeligere at læse end en, der indholder færre. En enhed er et bogstav, et tegn, et tal eller et ordmellemrum. Det ideelle udgangspunkt for fastsættelsen af linjelængden ligger for både skærm og papir på omkring 0- enheder i gennemsnit (talt op og udregnet på mindst 0 linjers tekst). Bemærk, at på websites kan brugeren jo selv ofte sætte skriftens størrrelse op og ned med deraf flere eller færre enheder pr linje til følge.

Stoffet i denne publikation har for størsteparten været publiceret før. Dels som artikler i fagbladet Digital Design dels som pdf-filer til download på forlaget Grafisk Litteraturs hjemme-side. Store dele af stoffet er til denne bog bearbejdet og suppleret med flere illustrationer og eksempler. Derudover er det udvidet med kapitler om skrift-familier, om typografiske eksperimenter i det 20. århundrede samt om at klassificere skriftfonte.

global recession, and having done comparatively little for the last few World Fairs, almost 200 countries are now keen to show their faces, almost 100 of which are springing (Iceland and Greece included) for their own pavilion in what is in essence a Chinese show. The secret of this Expo is that it’s important because it’s a Chinese show. George Osborne, the UK’s new chancellor, who visited the Expo in June, has made explicit what a lot of other chancellors are well aware of: that for rich nations with big deficits, growth in China is the most promising lifeline to hand. Within this context, a presence in Shanghai has the salient purpose of national brandbuilding. The Expo is best understood as a grandiose Olympics of commerce, with competition going on for Chinese business, investment, tourism, students, and the favour of the all-new yet curiously elusive Chinese consumer. Around 100 million Chinese people are expected to visit the Expo, and if you can convince each of them to buy just one British export... The architectural rhetoric is unequivocal in confirming this politico-economic structure. Towering over the Expo Park is the China Pavilion, explicitly designed to resemble an ancient Chinese crown. This posits China’s imperial heft looking out over an emperor’s court of mendicant supplicants, each desperate to display their cloth. Yet while the staging is old, the modern age of global media has given these acts of display a distinctly modern twist. In 2010 nobody is really interested in using a World Fair to peddle their latest inventions. After all, it is a peculiarly
