  Someone recently asked me what the difference between a font and a 
face was.  I gave the following definitions:

  family - a class of letterforms (e.g., Helvetica)
  face   - a particular style of a family (e.g., Helvetica Oblique)
  font   - a face at a particular point size (e.g., Helvetica Oblique 10)

  I see in this month's Byte that Jerry Pournelle (not the world's
leading expert in typesetting terminology) uses the word "typeface"
where I use the word "family", but keeps the other two terms the same
(he also gives the impression that there is such a thing as "Times
Roman Italic", which seems oxymoronic).

  Would anyone care to either confirm my definitions or point out
other definitions?
