Point size / leading in points. The most common use I saw when I was doing print work was “10/12.” Printers generally prefer and assume points though some use picas.
This shortcut can even be used in CSS like so.
p {
font: 10pt/12pt georgia, serif;
}
Which might be better as…
p {
font: 100%/120% georgia, serif;
}
…because that will nicely inherit whatever cascading sizes you’ve got in elements above the paragraph.
This is what it looks like. I actually think 130% is a better ratio for web pages. At maurisenim erat nulla et diam suspendisse suspendisse turpis in venenatis dui lacus tortor erat. Turpis vestibulum at ac ut venenatis at feugiat vestibulum nulla dui dolor.
If you like the greeking, you can dynamically insert it into your own dev pages quite easily. Here’s how: greeking with JavaScript.

I only did the river guide thing as a amateur for a couple summers but I knew all the professionals and they’ll tell you that that just never happens. It’s always the red heads.
