The director of civil defense, Major General Kazem Buhan said that the fire targeted the counting and sorting machines and ballot boxes stored in three warehouses of the Commission in addition to the cameras and serifs devices.

The wedge, triangular shaped serifs and curls on the "r" and "y" make quite a design statement compared to its previous incarnation.

They made them straighter and more separate, and added baseline serifs and other details that lessened the pen-written character and increased the suggestion of the chisel.

The vertical position of the bar in serif fonts is mostly around 50% of the ascender, excluding the height of serifs.

For ages, they have been willing to throw down over the merits of serif versus sans-serif typefaces - whether or not letters should carry little decorative flourishes, or serifs, like the rightward kick on a lowercase a, the leftward angle on a lowercase d or the miniscule hat that caps a capital letter such as J.

These characteristics include the presence or absence of serifs (Arditi & Cho, 2000, 2005); the width of strokes (Arditi, Cagnello, & Jacobs, 1995b; Berger, 1944a, 1944b); kerning or interletter spacing (Arditi et al., 1995a; Arditi, Liu, & Lynn, 1997; Moriarty & Scheiner, 1984; Whittaker, Rohrkaste, & Higgins, 1989); leading (the space between lines of text) (Tinker, 1963); point size (Legge, Rubin, Pelli, & Schleske, 1985); the height of letters (x-height, defined as the vertical measure of the lowercase "x" in any given font, and t-height, defined as the height of the bottom of the crossbar of the letter "t" in any given font) (Arditi, 2005); contrast (Rubin & Legge, 1989); and color (Legge & Rubin, 1986).
