Mind you, he never calls me anything back. Isn't that the way of it? What do men call their wives. 'Em...' Like every woman in the planet was christened Emily. 'Em...is that shirt clean?'.
The unit of measure in printing The standard is a pica M; and the width of a line is measured by the number of such M's that would stand side by side in the "stick " This dictionary is in double columns, each column equals 11 pica M's in width, and one M is allowed for the space between Some work is made up to 10 1/2, 20 1/2, etc , ems; and for the half-em printers employ the letter N, which is in width half a letter M As no letter is wider than the M, and all narrower letters are fractions of it, this letter forms a very convenient standard for printing purposes
A linear unit equal to the point size of the font In a 10 point font, the em will be 10 points An em-space is white-space that is as wide as the point size An em-dash is a horizontal bar that is as wide as the point size An em-square is a square one em to each side In traditional typograph (when each letter was cast in metal) the glyph had to be drawn within the em-square
An em is a typographers unit of measurement that is proportioned to the width of a capital letter "M " It will vary from font to font and will also vary with the point size of the font
In composition, a unit of measurement exactly as wide and high as the point size being set So named because the letter “M” in early fonts was usually cast on a square body
A measurement of linear space used by typographers in which the unit is as wide and as high as the point size being set; twice the width of an en So named because the letter "m" in early fonts was usually cast on a square body
The portion of a line formerly occupied by the letter m, then a square type, used as a unit by which to measure the amount of printed matter on a page; the square of the body of a type
A unit of measurement equal to the current type size, e g , an em in 12-point type is equal to 12 points Originally derived from the width of the upper-case M
Em dash The square of the body size of any type, used a a unit of measure in some expanded or condensed faces, the em is also expanded or condensed form the square proportion A dash one em long Also called a long dash
a typological measurement, so called because it represents the width of the widest character in the alphabet In general use it is a synonym for pica em
A setwise relative unit of measurement equal to the current type size, e g , an em in 10-point type is equal to 10 points Originally derived from the width of the upper-case "M" character Less commonly, a pica em (12 points), is used as an absolute unit of measure (line length)
n Trad a context-dependent unit of measure commonly used in typesetting, equal to the displayed width of of a letter "M" in the current font (The letter "M" is traditionally chosen because it is typically represented by the widest glyph in the font, and other characters' widths are typically fractions of an em In implementations providing non-Roman characters with wider characters than "M," it is permissible for another character to be the implementation-defined reference character for this measure, and for "M" to be only a fraction of an em wide ) In a fixed width font, a line with n characters is n ems wide; in a variable width font, n ems is the expected upper bound on the width of such a line
[in composition] a unit of measure exactly as wide and high as the point size being set, so named because the letter "M" in many early fonts was cast on a square body
A font-relative measure encoded by the font Before electronic typesetting, an em was the width of an `M' in the font In modern usage, an em is either specified by the designer of the font or is taken to be the height (point size) of the font Em's are typically used for font-relative horizontal sizes
