Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 45765
Format/character dialog--Incorrect (interchanged) usage of words "typeface" and "font"
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:25:50 UTC
1. Open a word processor document 2. Select Format | Character to bring up the Character dialog. Select the Font tab. 3. The first column is labeled "Font" but the selections are names like "Arial" and "Times New Roman." The second column is labeled "Typeface" but the selections are weights and styles, such as "Regular" and "Bold Italic." These are backwards. The type designs or families (such as "Times New Roman") are typefaces. The selection of the specific style, weight and size of a typeface is a font. If you have doubt about this, check Google, "define typeface" and "define font."
MRU->LIZ: it looks that the correct string for OO's "typeface" should be font style. "Font" itself is correct IMO.
set target --will research later
I agree with MRU. My research showed... http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/t/typeface.html "A design for a set of characters. Popular typefaces include Times Roman, Helvetica, and Courier. The typeface represents one aspect of a font. The font also includes such characteristics as size, weight, italics, and so on." http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/font.html "A font is the combination of typeface and other qualities, such as size, pitch, and spacing. For example, Times Roman is a typeface that defines the shape of each character. Within Times Roman, however, there are many fonts to choose from -- different sizes, italic, bold, and so on. (The term font is often used incorrectly as a synonym for typeface.)" For the German: http://www.typolexikon.de/s/schriftstil.html or http://www.at-mix.de/schriftstil.htm Schriftstil "Gestaltungsvariation einer Schriftart, bei der die grundsätzlichen typographischen Merkmale erhalten bleiben. z.B.: fett, kursiv, unterstrichen" THerefore... liz->os: Please change all these as follows Typeface --->Font style Schriftschnitt ---> Schriftstil PRJ svx Filename source\dialog\chardlg.src Build SRC680 GID RID_SVXPAGE_CHAR_NAME LID FT_CTL_STYLE PRJ svx Filename source\dialog\chardlg.src Build SRC680 GID RID_SVXPAGE_CHAR_NAME LID FT_EAST_STYLE PRJ svx Filename source\dialog\chardlg.src Build SRC680 GID RID_SVXPAGE_CHAR_NAME LID FT_WEST_STYLE_NOCJK PRJ svx Filename source\dialog\chardlg.src Build SRC680 GID RID_SVXPAGE_CHAR_NAME LID FT_WEST_STYLE Type fixedtext PRJ starmath Filename source\smres.src Build SRC680 GID RID_SYMDEFINEDIALOG LID 4 Type fixedtext
