The principal line terms in typography.
For broader context, see Typeface anatomy.

The image as it stands right now needs to be recentered, because only the vertical strokes should appear in the ascender and descender areas. It needs leading space to be added above and below. I plan to try to create a revised image this evening if I can. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:48, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

This is the planned new version. I think the default can go back to 12.

  • 12 34    (12[[File:Cifrão symbol-temp.svg|12px]]34 )
  • sS   $    (sS [[File:Cifrão symbol-temp.svg|12px]] $)
  • 12 34    (12[[File:Cifrão symbol-temp.svg|15px]]34 )
  • sS   $    (sS [[File:Cifrão symbol-temp.svg|15px]] $)

It's a pity that it so smudgy but thin lines drawn using {{math}} are almost invisible. Any comments? --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 00:34, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Which concluded that 15px is the best compromise short of creating a completely new version of the glyph, so that is the default.
The only other option, to use html style="font-family:"font1", "font2", etc etc etc>, is impractical. It could only be done by identifying, for every version of every OS for every type of computer, tablet or phone, a default installed font that has a double barred dollar sign. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:37, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
