But the problem with "adequate French typographical expressions" is that I can never figure out what "fer en haut" might mean.

A bit confusing I admit and difficult to explain in English. « fer » is the limit of the frame inside which typographers used to stack characters. So

« fer à gauche » means that the characters are stacked from the left limit, i.e left alignment
« fer en haut » means that the characters are stacked from the upper limit

Obviously, the page does not exist in English.

What about
« aligné à gauche » instead of « fer à gauche »
« calé en haut de page » instead of « fer en haut »
