  Typeface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A font, from Middle French fonte, meaning "(something that has been) melt(ed)" and referring to letters of a typeface produced by casting molten metal at a type foundry, consists of a set of glyphs (images) representing the characters from a particular character set in a particular typeface.
The mid-1970s saw all of the major typeface technologies and all their fonts in use: from the original letterpress process of Gutenberg to mechanical metal typesetters, phototypositors, computer-controlled phototypesetters, and the earliest digital typesetters, (hulking machines with tiny processors and CRT outputs).
Digital fonts may encode the image of each character either as a bitmap (in a bitmap font) or by a higher-level description in terms of lines and curves enclosing a space (an outline font, also called a "vector font").

 What's Wrong With FONT?
If the author uses font settings instead of HTML headings, the same user will not see headings, and neither will the search engine or indexer looking for keywords in high-level headings to display prominently in the search results.
Knowing that most of their viewers will have at least one font with an Eastern European Roman or Cyrillic character set, they are careful to set the proper "charset" in the server headers.
The font tag is a hindrance to communication over the World Wide Web because it makes too many assumptions about the user's system, browser, and configuration.

 Joan Sarah Touzet - Freeware Cherokee Font Information
I decided to give the font the rustic look that the book maintained, instead of opting for a more utilitarian version (such as Michael Everson has chosen for his recent ISO 10646 proposal), as the inconsistencies in the wood-cut type that Holmes and Smith used gave the font a very "living" appearance.
The font is also dedicated to all of the Cherokees, with any percentage of red blood, who continue to strive to reclaim their nearly lost language.
