# The Ahem Font
A font called [Ahem][ahem-readme] has been developed which consists
of
some very well defined glyphs
of precise sizes
and shapes; it
is
especially useful
for testing font
and text properties. Installation
instructions are available
in [Running Tests
from the
Local
System](../running-tests/
from-
local-system).
The font
's em-square is exactly square. Its ascent and descent
combined
is exactly the
size of the em square; this means that the
font
's extent is exactly the same as its line-height, meaning that it
can be exactly aligned with padding, borders, margins,
and so
forth. Its alphabetic baseline
is 0.
2em above its bottom,
and 0.
8em
below its top.
The font has four glyphs:
* X (U+0058): A square exactly 1em in height and width.
* p (U+0070): A rectangle exactly 0.2em high, 1em wide, and aligned so
that its top
is flush with the baseline.
* É (U+00C9): A rectangle exactly 0.8em high, 1em wide, and aligned so
that its bottom
is flush with the baseline.
* [space] (U+0020): A transparent space exactly 1em high and wide.
Most other US-ASCII characters
in the font have the same glyph
as X.
## Usage
Ahem should be loaded
in tests
as a web font.
To simplify this, a test can
link
to the `/fonts/ahem.css` stylesheet:
```
<link rel=
"stylesheet" type=
"text/css" href=
"/fonts/ahem.css" />
```
If the test uses the Ahem font, make sure its computed font-
size is a
multiple
of 5px, otherwise baseline alignment may be rendered
inconsistently. A minimum computed font-
size of 20px
is suggested.
An explicit (i.e., not `normal`)
line-height should also always be
used, with the difference
between the computed
line-height
and
font-
size being divisible
by 2.
In the common
case, having the same
value
for both
is desirable.
Other font properties should make sure they have their default values;
as such, the `font` shorthand should normally be used.
As a result, what
is typically recommended
is:
``` css
div {
font:
25px/
1 Ahem;
}
```
Some things
to avoid:
``` css
div {
font:
1em/
1em Ahem;
/* computed font-size is typically 16px and potentially
affected by parent elements */
}
div {
font:
20px Ahem;
/* computed line-height value is normal */
}
div {
/* doesn't use font shorthand; font-weight and font-style are inherited */
font-family: Ahem;
font-
size:
25px;
line-height:
50px;
/* the difference between computed line-height and
computed font-size is not divisible by 2
(50 - 25 = 25; 25 / 2 = 12.5). */
}
```
