This text image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Proportional & Tabular figures.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
Summary
DescriptionProportional & Tabular figures.tiff
English: Numbers can be typeset in two ways. They can be set proportionally, with the width of the character depending on its shape (1 narrow, 9 wide), which means less empty space on the page and better-flowing text. Or all numerals can have the same width, ensuring that lines of numbers line up together one on top of another. This is essential for typesetting sums and price lists.
This picture shows number glyphs from the font Palatino. Both sets are lining figures, numerals which are the same height as upper-case letters.
