\big The \TeX\ ruler

\manual
This is the \TeX\ ruler, a measuring device for
typographical designers working with \TeX. It includes ordinary
rulers in inches, centimeters, and picas.
It can be used to measure font sizes, baseline distances,
and rule weights. The design is based on a ruler
by Inge~Eijkhout, implementation in \TeX\ is by 
Victor~Eijkhout.

The \TeX\ ruler is shareware, distributed under the GNU Public License.
If you want to show your appreciation, send a contribution

How to format and print this file

This file will give you three pages. Most likely the second one
cannot be handled by your printer, but I've included it for
completeness. At the top of the source file, 3 fonts are
declared. Please change the CM fonts to something more pretty,
eg Helvetica.

How to use the \TeX\ ruler

Rulers. Use them like ordinary rulers. It is suggested
that you print the \TeX\ ruler on transparent plastic and
cut the edges along the rulers.

Baseline distances. Put the top line along the baseline
of some line of text. Then see in what column the other
lines of text line up.

Font sizes: cap height. Take an uppercase letter
such as `K' or `H'. Find the line with its font name,
or use the first line. See what box on that line
it fits in best, with the character completely between
the lines. Read out the magnification and size of the
font. Alternately check on all lines which box fits
best, then read out the size.

General remark: all lines have a width of .05 millimeter. 
This is less than the dot width of a 300dpi
laser printer, so beware of some inaccuracies.
Also your printer driver may introduce 
inaccuracies.
