How do I specify fonts?

Why shouldn't I specify fonts in pixels?

RichInStyle.com - FAQ
Fonts specified in pixels do not relate to the user's ability to see. As such, they present accessibility difficulties for the partially sighted. It is possible to avoid these difficulties, either by using ems and %, or else not specifying font sizes at all. Furthermore, in some countries, including America, it is potentially against the law to present these kind of accessibility problems.

How do I keep control of all of these fonts?

PAGEMAKER LISTSERV FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS LIST
The best answer is not to have "all of these fonts". One of the greatest mistakes a beginning DTPer makes is to use 20 different fonts on one small publication. The best thing to do is keep to a smaller number of fonts that serve your needs best. Plus, PageMaker's performance decreases dramatically with respect to the number of fonts installed in your system. Most publications look best when you use only two or so typefaces. Simpler is usually better when it comes to typefaces.

How do I specify porosity levels?

Eastern Alloys, Inc.
Specifying porosity levels must take into account the fact that the position and shape of any internal discontinuity is usually more important than the amount. Thus, a crack will often have a very serious impact on the strength of a part but only represent a very small amount of porosity. Small, well-dispersed spherical pores may actually improve the material's strength and fracture toughness.
