A space (between words) that will have its width equal to either the width of a capital letter "N" or "M."
A space equal to the width of the lower case letter "m".
A measure of distance equal to the body of a capital. In linear measure, a distance equal to the type size, and in square measure, the square of the type size. Thus an em is 12pt (or a 12pt square) in 12pt type. Also called mutton.
A space that is equal in width to an em. See EM
A typesetting unit of measurement, equal to the space of the largest letter in the alphabet of the type face and size being used. to top
A spacing unit for type the width of a capital M.
Square of a type body. So named because the letter M in early fonts was cast on a square body.
a fixed amount of blank space equivalent to the width of a capital letter em (M)
a space equal to the type size
a white hard space whose width depends on the font in use
a wide space, as wide as the letter m
A space with the same width as the letter m.
In typography, a fixed space one em in length.
A nonbreaking space equal to the width of the letter M in the font being used.
A non-breaking space equal to the width of a typeface's point size, often used for paragraph indentions. Traditionally, it was created by non-printing blocks of metal used to add space between words.
A unit of measure exactly as wide as the point size of the type being set. In 12-point type, the em space is 12 points wide.
A fixed amount of white space exactly one em wide, which will not be `stretched' for justification purposes as will a space band.
A distance equal to the type size - 12 points in a 12 point typeface, 11 points in an 11 point typeface and so on. Also known as a "mutton".
the amount of blank space equal to that occupied by the letter "m".
a space as wide as the point size of the types. This measurement is relative; in 12-point type an em space is 12 points wide, but in 24-point type an em space is 24 points wide.
output: A space as wide as the letter "m" in a given font, achieved by holding down the Option key while hitting the Space bar.
n. A typographical unit of measure that is equal in width to the point size of a particular font. For many fonts, this is equal to the width of a capital M, from which the em space takes its name. Compare en space, fixed space, thin space.
