February 1, 2002, Newsletter Issue #48: Wide Open Spaces
Tip of the Week
Sometimes, after your copy has been typeset, you may notice a less-than-desirable channel of white space running
through a number of lines of copy. This channel is referred to as a "river," and can usually be fixed as easily as changing or deleting a single word in the printed copy.
Spacing between letters will either involve "kerning," manually taking out space between characters (letters), or "letterspacing," the insertion of extra points (space) between characters (letters) to spread them farther apart.
But, the spacing that will help you most in copyfitting is "leading" (pronounced "ledding").
