Title: Measure copy/text in points, using a line gauge.
Course: Graphic Imaging Technology II (11154-II) > Section: Understanding Type

Measurement of copy/text should be made using

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

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?
