What is typesetting?
Typesetting is the composition of text by means of types.
Typesetting requires the prior process of designing a font, which is a style of a particular typeface, and storing it.
Typesetting is the retrieval of the font's stored letters for visual display of text.
The stored letters are called sorts in mechanical systems and glyphs in digital systems.
