[NTG-context] Typical font size and interline space for Adobe Garamond Premier Pro.

[Pawel Urbanski]

Hi Everyone,

Adobe Garamond Premier Pro is a very popular font. Understanding that 
typesetting is both art and science it is not easy to find some neat 
guidelines on values for size and spacing for this particular font. 
There are threads on the web that mostly relate to self-publishing with 
regular text editors.

I'm currently drafting a book using the 5.5x8.5 trim size, with typical 
outer margins of 0.5 inch and the inner one of 0.75 (including the gutter).

Would you mind sharing the values for font size and any spacing 
adjustment for Garamond Premier?

I am currently using 11.5pt for font size, and adjust spacing from the 
default 2.8ex to 2.9ex. Using whitespace between paragraphs set to 
small, in addition to the former values.

It gives me roughly 35...36 lines per page.


Thank you for your answers...


Pawel
