The amount of additional space or "lead" between two lines of type, and dates from the days when type-setters used molten lead.
The space, measured in points, between consecutive lines of type. (Originally from the strips of lead placed between lines of hot type.) Lupe (Loupe): From the German word for magnifying glass, a lens used by photographers, printers, and designers to examine details in printed materials.
The vertical space between lines of text, measured from base line to base line.
The vertical space between lines of text ( baseline to baseline).
Typographic term from the long-gone days of cold lead typesetting, where thin lines of lead were placed between lines for to provide spacing within a paragraph. In contemporary nomenclature, leading refers to LINE SPACING.
Measured in points, it is the vertical space between two lines of type.
The space between two lines of text, usually measured from baseline to baseline. Adjustments can make text more readable and pleasing to the eye.
The space between lines of type - comes from the thin strips of lead that were used in hot metal setting.
The space between lines of type, often measured from the baseline of one line to the baseline of the next, and less frequently measured from ascender to ascender. Dates back to hot metal days when strips of lead were inserted between lines of type to provide line spacing.
output:(Pronounced "ledding") The space between two lines of text, usually measured in points (72nds of an inch). The name comes from the strips of lead that printers used to put between lines of type. On the Mac, leading is usually measured from the top of one capital letter to the top of another on the next line.
The measurement of the space occupied by a line of text from one baseline to the next. This takes into consideration the size of the text and the space between lines of text.
This si the space between lines of text.
Metal type term for space between lines of type.
Pronounced "led". See linespacing.

pronounced LED-ing - The spaces between lines of text measured from the baseline to baseline. In early typesetting, strips of lead were placed between lines of type for spacing, hence the term.
The space, measured from baseline to baseline, added between successive rows of text in a document.
is the measure from the baseline of the letters in one line of type to the baseline of the letters in the line of type above it. In the example below, the leading is the distance measured between the bottom of the letter “a” in “apples” and the bottom of the letter “m” in “mangoes” in the line above. These angoes are not ripe yet. These pples are really red and juicy.
(pronounced “led-ding”) In typography, an alternate and more popularly used term for line spacing.
Leading is the vertical space relationship between one line of type and the next. Computer graphics normally default to +2 points of leading for any given point size selected. (i.e. 10 point type uses 12 points of leading and 14 point type uses 16 points of leading).
Typographical term for the space from the top of a capital letter to the top of the next on the following line.
The distance between baselines of printed text, or the space between the lines.
The amount of space below a typeset character, expressed in points. A ten point character with three points of leading would occupy 13 points of space (called 10/13).
separation between lines of type, usually called line spacing. Normal leading, and usually the most legible, is 1.0 on word processors.
The first part of a field. You may be required to type the "leading" zeroes in a field which is larger than the input.
(pronounced like "ledding") In word processing and desktop publishing, vertical spacing of lines of text in a paragraph.
Space between the lines of text.
is the space between lines, or sentences. Leading must always be specified. One way to indicate 12-point type set with 2 points of leading is 12/14. With metal type, this meant that points of lead were cast onto the original 12-point body, yielding 14 point If 1-point minus leading is indicated, it is specified as 12/11, since it hypothetically a 12-point typeface on an 11-point body.
The amount of extra space between lines of type.
The vertical spacing between lines of text.
The space between lines of type, measured from the baseline of one line to the baseline of the next. The quantity is measured in points, such as 6 point type, 8 point, etc. Each point equals approximately 1/72th of an inch.
Space between lines of type. General rule of thumb is to add two points leading to your type size. For example, 11 point type with 13 point leading.
Pronounced "led-ing", as in "lead pencil". Leading is the vertical space between lines of text. Like letter and word spacing, the right amount of leading makes text easier to read. Often expressed as a percentage of the vertical height of characters, it separates two baselines in text. For example, leading between two lines of 1" high characters, where baselines are 1.25" apart, is 125%. This means you have a 25% space between your lines.
The amount of space between typeset lines. Measurements are expressed in points. Leading is measured from baseline to baseline.
The amount of space that appears between the lines within a paragraph (as opposed to the space between paragraphs) in a printed document. (Pronounced "ledding".) Contributed by: MarcommWise Staff
Pronounced "ledding." The amount of white space between lines of type. Measured from baseline to baseline.
Amount of space (usually expressed in points) between lines of type, measured from baseline to baseline.
The distance between lines. It is measured in points (12 pts. = 1 pica; 6 picas = 2.54 cm) from the baseline of one line to the baseline of the next.
All the characters in a page of type rest on an imaginary line called a baseline. Leading is the space between one baseline and the next. The origin of the term is found in the history of printing where pages were set using metal type. Long strips of lead of equal thickness were used to sit the lines of metal type on, hence "Leading". Software programs often refer to leading as "line spacing".
show HIDE The space between lines of type (measured in points).
The amount of white space placed at the top or bottom of characters to prevent overlapping between succeeding lines. Usually line spacing is equal to the point size plus the leading.
(Pronounced 'ledding') The amount of vertical space between lines of type. The distance from the baseline of one line of type to the baseline of another line of type immediately above or below it; also known as line spacing and usually measured in points.
The amount of space between lines of text within the same paragraph. Typically 10 pt text is set with an additional 2 pts of leading to prevent the descenders of one line from touching the ascenders in the line below. This is referred to as "10 on 12" (10 pts type in 12 pts of vertical space), or 10/12.
Space added between lines of type to space out text and provide visual separation of the lines. Measured in points or fractions therof. Named after the strips of lead which used to be inserted between lines of metal type.
The distance between lines of type.
Pronounced “led-ing.†The space, expressed in points, between lines of type, measured from the baseline (bottom) of one line to the baseline of the next; derived from the traditional typesetting practice of inserting thin bars of lead between lines of metal type.

The space between lines of type. This is measured from one baseline to the next.
(pronounced "led-ding") the space between lines of type, traditionally measured baseline-to-baseline, in points. Text type is generally set with one or two points of leading; for example, 10-point type with 2 points of leading. This is described as 10/12, read ten on twelve.
The spacing, in points, between lines of text.
The amount of blank vertical space between the descent line of one line of text and the ascent line of the next line of single-spaced text. In early typesetting, strips of lead were placed between lines of type for spacing, hence the term See also: line spacing

Placement of extra space between lines of type in phototypesetting. When no leading is used, the type is set solid, and there is a chance that ascenders and descenders may overlap.
The deposition of lead in the bore of a gun due to the passage of lead projectiles (pronounced: "ledding"). Often caused by firing the bullets at too great a velocity, or by a slight roughness in the barrel, stripping a sliver of metal off as they pass.
The white space between an element's lines of text.
The distance in points between lines of text - pronounced as in 'ledd-ing' (see also Inter-line spacing.)
