Font (serif & sans-serif); is a small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol,^[1] such as when handwriting is separated into distinct units for a typewriter or typesetter. A typeface with serifs is called aserif typeface (or serifed typeface).

Margin

noun

the space around the printed or written matter on a page.

Guide (illustrator guides)
A guide id basically a person that leads you to one place to another but in this case Guides in graphic design is kind of the same thing, Guides help you align text and graphic objects. You can create ruler guides (straight vertical or horizontal lines) and guide objects (vector objects that you convert to guides). Like the grid, guides do not print.

Bleed;
Bleeds allow you to run artwork to the edge of a page. On a press, the artwork is printed on a large sheet of paper and then trimmed down to size. If you do not allow for a 1/8 of an inch bleed, any misalignment while cutting will result with the artwork not running to the edge of the paper. Bleeds ensure you get the results you need.

Image resolution is the detail an image holds. The term applies to raster digital images, film images, and other types of images. Higher resolution means more image detail.

Image resolution can be measured in various ways. Basically, resolution quantifies how close lines can be to each other and still be visibly resolved. Resolution units can be tied to physical sizes (e.g. lines per mm, lines per inch), to the overall size of a picture (lines per picture height, also known simply as lines, TV lines, or TVL), or to angular subtenant. Line pairs are often used instead of lines; a line pair comprises a dark line and an adjacent light line. A line is either a dark line or a light line. A resolution of 10 lines per millimeter means 5 dark lines alternating with 5 light lines, or 5 line pairs per millimeter (5 LP/mm). Photographic lens and film resolution are most often quoted in line pairs per millimeter.

Proof copy, a copy of (a book, story, etc) made from trial impressions made from composed type, or print-outs (from a laser printer, etc) for the correction of errors ⇒ She sent me a proof copy of her latest short story.

Artboard, Artboards represent the regions that can contain printable artwork. You resize and set the orientation for your artwork by choosing settings in the Artboard Options dialog box. (In Illustrator CS3 and earlier, you use the Document Setup dialog box to change the document size and orientation.)

Registration Marks

Small targets outside the page area for aligning the different separations in a color document.

BorderLayout is a LayoutManager that provides the means to lay out components along the edges of a container. It divides the container into five regions, named North, East, South, West, and Center. Normally you won't call the LayoutManager's methods yourself. When you add() aComponent to a Container, the Container calls the addLayoutComponent() method of its LayoutManager.
