:Deconstruction: What is the number five?-PPT information免费ppt模版下载-道格办公

The average person hears the word "number five" and it is very likely that they will think of the word number five in Word.

People with a little knowledge of typesetting may say what size blabla is equivalent to in size five.

People with a little rich knowledge of typesetting will generally turn to Other Typographic Units in Chapter 7 of Ken Lunde's CJKV Information Processing.

But in fact, everyone ignores an experience in the typesetting era.

For example, I took a dictionary as an example ("Concise English-Chinese Dictionary", co-edited by Zhang Qichun/Cai Wenying, 1963, Commercial Press):

We can roughly arrange it with LaTeX:

< li>

documentclass{article}usepackage{xeCJK}< /span>setCJKmainfont[Mapping=fullwidth-stop]{SourceHanSerifSC-Regular}setmainfont{CMU Serif}setlength{fboxsep}{0.8pt}< span class='code-snippet_outer'>ewfontfamily{hansym}{SourceHanSerifSC-Regular} egin{document} egin{minipage}{15em} extbf{ear$cdot< span class='code-snippet__variable'>$nest}$^1$ ['əːnist] I exit{n}.{hansym ①}〚an ~〛 deposit; deposit: exit {earnest money} fbox{U} Deposit money, deposit. {hansym ②} omen. 
vskip8pt 
 extbf{ear$cdot$nest}$^2$ ['əːnist] I extit{a}. Eager; serious; diligent: an exit{earnest} worker diligent worker/ an exit{earnest} student hard-working student/ make an extit{earnest} request for help An urgent request for help. 
II exit{n} .〚idiom〛 extit{in earnest} Sincerely; serious; earnestly (ground): speak exit{in earnest} earnest/ Are you in jest or exit{in real earnest}? Are you kidding or serious? [$>$hbox{next article}]
vskip8pt
 extbf{ear$cdot$nest$cdot$ness} [- extbf{nis}] exit {n}.fbox{U} Enthusiastic; serious; sincere. 
vskip8pt 
 extbf{earn$cdot$ings} ['əːniŋz] exit{n}. exit{pl}. income, benefit. [$<$ extit{earn}]
end{minipage}
end{document}

Then the output will look like this:

However, comparing this output result with the original book, I feel a little uncomfortable. Compared with the original book, I thought about it, it may be the problem of the size of Chinese characters, so I slightly changed it:

usepackage{xeCJK}defaultCJKfontfeatures{Scale=0.90}

Then, if it is smaller, such as 0.85, the effect is like this:

Back to the topic, what is the experience in the typesetting era? That probably means that the size of the rectangular frame that constrains the size of Chinese characters is not actually equal to the nominal size of the type, that is to say:

As for our example above, if the size of the Western text is 10pt, then it is more appropriate to match the size of the Chinese text with 9pt or 8.5pt. Otherwise, it will cause a more abrupt effect visually.

In the era of lead typesetting in our country, there actually used to be five or six different types of type specifications (this is mentioned in a compilation of articles). That is to say, for the same five-size character, if you measure the books published in the north and south at that time, the size may be different. (Actually, that's not the literal rate some people say either). Of course, it should also be noted that there must be some preset allocation ratios in sales of the typefaces at that time (it can be understood as mixing and matching different sizes). After 1949, there was an attempt to unify these different font sizes, but the lead type is always a metal object, and the forced unification of the size means that some lead type models are discarded directly, and the lead type has to be recast, which will cause economic losses. Probably because of this, in the printing industry, domestic type has not been standardized.

In fact, when it comes to mixed typesetting (whether it is Western or Southeast Asian characters) on different typesetting software, it is necessary to reconsider the matching degree in size. In some harsh environments, it even needs to be redefined as a whole (this involves design differences between manufacturers). In today's example, it is actually necessary to adjust the baseline position of the Chinese character font (XeTeX does not have this function, it can be done with luatexja or pTeX series).
