Let L be a closed linear space of continuous real-valued functions, containing constants, on a compact Hausdorff space Ω. This paper gives some new criteria for a closed subset E of Ω to be an L-interpolation set, or more generally for L|E to be uniformly closed or simplicial, in terms of distances between certain compact convex subsets of the state space of L. These criteria involve the facial structure of the state space and hence are of a geometric nature. The results sharpen some standard results of Glicksberg.
