Chapter 7: Typography
GB/T 15834-1995 and GB/T 15835-1995
China has established two standards that provide some amount of line-layout guidance,
as follows:
GB/T 15834-1995, • Use of Punctuation Marks ( biāodin fúhào

JIS X 4051:2004, they do provide general principles for composing Chinese text, in both
horizontal and vertical writing modes.

typesetting systems are still in use today, and many typographic guides still make use of
other typographic units. Knowing how to convert between them is useful.
Before the days of easily scaled type, names were associated with various and specic type
sizes. Table 7-1 lists some of these type size names, along with their corresponding sizes
expressed in points.
