The font's em square is exactly square. +Its ascent and descent is exactly the size of the em square. This +means that the font's extent is exactly the same as its line-height, +meaning that it can be exactly aligned with padding, borders, margins, +and so forth. + +The font's alphabetic baseline is 0.2em above its bottom, and 0.8em +below its top. The font has an x-height of 0.8em. + +The font has four glyphs: + + 'X' U+0058 A square exactly 1em in height and width. + + 'p' U+0070 A rectangle exactly 0.2em high, 1em wide, and aligned so + that its top is flush with the baseline. + + 'É' U+00C9 A rectangle exactly 0.8em high, 1em wide, and aligned so + that its bottom is flush with the baseline. + + ' ' U+0020 A transparent space exactly 1em high and wide. + +Most other US-ASCII characters in the font have the same glyph as X. + +The Ahem font belongs to the public domain as described in COPYING. + +Acknowledgements: The font was originally created by Todd Fahrner in +the late 90s, and was updated by Paul Nelson in the mid 2000s. The +changes were the introduction of x-height information to the OS/2 +table and the addition of the space and non-breaking space glyphs. |
