Discussion
State whether the following is true or false.
Two typefaces set at the same point size always appear the same size on the page.
Answer: B
Correct answer: False
Point size measures the body the type was cast on, not the letters themselves, and typefaces differ greatly in x-height - the height of the lower-case letters within that body. A face with a large x-height looks considerably bigger at the same point size, which is why type is specified by appearance rather than by number alone.
