Definition: Originally, typesetting was a specialized skill. A typesetter took written material and set it in type (wooden, metal, and later, machine-generated) according to the specifications of the designer or printer. Today, the role of the typesetter has been largely replaced by the designer or desktop publisher who does the typesetting digitally in conjunction with other page layout tasks.
Also Known As: textsetter
