CERIG. La typographie est-elle fâchée avec le web ? Résumé Les contraintes auxquelles est soumise la reproduction du texte sont très différentes lorsqu'on l'imprime ou lorsqu'on l'affiche sur l'écran du moniteur d'un ordinateur. Ce dernier présente en effet une résolution voisine de 72 dpi, très inférieure à celle d'un produit imprimé. La typographie de l'affiché est donc assez différente de celle de l'imprimé. Le web rajoute ses contraintes propres. En effet, le web étant un petit tuyau, le langage de description de page qu'il utilise -- le HTML -- a été conçu de manière à fournir des fichiers de taille aussi réduite que possible. Les ordinateurs récents, qu'ils soient Mac ou PC, possèdent une dizaine de polices en commun. Quels que soient les efforts de présentation consentis par le concepteur d'un site, l'affichage des pages correspondantes dépend de la plate-forme. Le système appelé "police dynamique" consiste à décharger partiellement une police avec la page web dans laquelle elle est utilisée.

Warning! | There might be a problem with the requested link The link you requested has been identified by bitly as being potentially problematic. This could be because a bitly user has reported a problem, a black-list service reported a problem, because the link has been shortened more than once, or because we have detected potentially malicious content. This may be a problem because: Some URL-shorteners re-use their links, so bitly can't guarantee the validity of this link.Some URL-shorteners allow their links to be edited, so bitly can't tell where this link will lead you.Spam and malware is very often propagated by exploiting these loopholes, neither of which bitly allows for. The link you requested may contain inappropriate content, or even spam or malicious code that could be downloaded to your computer without your consent, or may be a forgery or imitation of another website, designed to trick users into sharing personal or financial information.
