I agree - but unfortunately, there's no consistency at all in actual usage. Even Adobe mis-uses the terms - see Industria Inline, for example. "Inline" has also been widely used for fonts that have just a relatively small amount of white space inside, such as Adobe's Pompeia Std Inline (same as Agfa's "CGAshley Inline"). Other often used and misused descriptors for similar effects include Open, Hollow, Engraved, 3D, and more. Let's not get started on "Gothic", which is widely used to describe two diametrically opposite kinds of fonts :) - Herb
