Hey all, This may be different from the usual but I'm doing a project for school and need a couple of english to japanese translations done. I have to have these translated for a typography project that is due on Tuesday. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks so much 
Here is the first thing needed to be translated..
Type Elements
Understanding how to define the names or characteristics of a typeface can help you find the right font. Or if you are looking for a specific design of a font from a supplier, knowing the vocabulary will allow you to talk about the details more precisely.
Serifs:
Small decorative strokes that are added to the end of a letter's main strokes.
Point Size:
The common method of measuring type: the distance from the top of the highest ascender to the bottom of the lowest descender in points.
Baseline :
The imaginary line on which the majority of the characters in a typeface rest.
Stem Stroke:
The stem stroke is the thicker or main strokes of a letter.
Bracketing:
The design of the area that attaches the serif to the stroke of the letter. Only serifs have bracketing.
Crotch:
The interior space formed by the joint of two strokes of a character
Arms and Legs in Type:
The strokes that extend ot either straight or angled upward are called the arms of the character. The strokes that extend downward from the stem of the letter are called legs.
And the second:
Copyfitting:
The distribution of how much space a given amount of text will take up in a given point size and typeface; adjustment of the typesetting specifications of a body of text in order to make it fit within a given space.
Type size rule #1: The bigger type size equals the smaller word count.
