After four or five months of delving into the typesetting rules, I've come up with my own list (WE LOVE LISTS!!!) of them. They are done with the assumption that InDesign is the only publishing program that matters (sucks to you, QuarkExpress) and that you're doing it for non-web based design. Web typesetting gets into CSS stuff which I don't understand, and that which I don't understand . . . . I don't understand.
So, here's my list.
The font is a Futura clone, and the document itself follows the typsetting rules. One interesting result of both aligning to the baseline grid AND a document grid is that the text in all boxes start and end in a variable position to all the other boxes and really all text should begin in the same place, for consistency. No doubt there's a mathmatical fix for that . . . .Anywho, this is my small contribution to the field. One list among many.
