Typesetting is the composition of text-based material by means of types.

Overview[]

Typesetting requires the prior process of designing a font and storing it in some manner. Typesetting is the retrieval of the stored letters (called "sorts" in mechanical systems and "glyphs" in digital systems) and the ordering of them according to a language's orthography for visual display.
