Font vs. typeface
Hi, thanks for your edits to the Times New Roman article. I agree with you that "typeface" can sound a bit pretentious, I often use "font family" myself. (Morison did call it "my one attempt at designing a font".) However, it is the standard term people use for a multi-style, multi-size font family, which means I do feel it's the best term to use generally, sorry. The other problem with just using font is that in metal type, a font often means a consignment of metal type, e.g. "the printing shop had one 10pt font and another 12 pt font", or in an article on a Dutch print shop in the 17th century that it had one font with character distributions for typesetting Latin and another for Dutch. And in digital font can mean "one individual font file" (e.g. "TNR is shipped as four font files: regular, italic, bold, bold italic"). So I've reverted back to typeface generally, but please do feel free to make other changes if you think they would improve the article. Or if you have other questions let me know, I'll try my best to help. Blythwood (talk) 05:39, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
