Il faut donc se contenter de ce qu’il y a à disposition sur le poste de l’internaute qui viendra parcourir votre page. Et comme on en peut pas savoir ce que l’internaute a sur son poste, on se contente donc des polices les plus communément intégrées aux différents OS (window mac et linux).

Typographic unit Typographic units are the units of measurement used in typography or typesetting. The traditional units are different from common metric units, as they were established earlier. Even though these units are all very small, across a line of print they add up quickly. Confusions such as resetting text originally in type of one unit in type of another will result in words moving from one line to the next, resulting in all sorts of typesetting errors (viz. rivers of white, widows and orphans, disrupted tables, and misplaced captions). Development[edit] In Europe, the Didot point system was created by François-Ambroise Didot (1730–1804) in c. 1783. (Fournier’s printed scale of his point system, from Manuel Typographique, Barbou, Paris 1764, enlarged) However, the basic idea of the point system – to generate different type sizes by multiplying a single minimum unit calculated by dividing a base measurement unit such as one French Royal inch – was not Didot’s invention, but Fournier’s. Notes[edit]
