	Typeface - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		A typeface usually comprises an alphabet of letters, numerals, and punctuation marks; it may also include ideograms and symbols, or consist entirely of them, for example, mathematical or map-making symbols.
		The term typeface is often conflated with font, a term which, historically, had a number of distinct meanings before the advent of desktop publishing; these terms are now effectively synonymous when discussing digital typography.
		Monospaced fonts are typefaces in which every glyph is the same width (as opposed to variable-width fonts, where the "w" and "m" are wider than most letters, and the "i" is narrower).

		Japanese has a few common faces, which have come from the various approaches to the Kanji system as employed since +/- 600 a.d.
		As an illustration of the differences in Japanese fonts, let's look at the various forms one might encounter as main writing forms, if they can indeed so be called, since most were derived from brushes or woodblocks rather than pens.
		It is actually similar to the minchou typeface, which also originated from woodblock carving, but differs in style by being less rigid and having serifs at different strokes.

		Modern serif typefaces, which first emerged in the late 18th century, are characterized by extreme contrast between thick and thin lines.

	Typeface - Wiki-pedia , the free encyclopedia
		One still valid distinction between font and typeface is that a font may designate a specific member of a type family such as roman, bold or italic type, possibly in a particular size, while typeface designates a visual appearance or style, possibly of a related set of fonts.
		In professional typography the term typeface is not interchangeable with the word font, which is defined as a given alphabet and its associated characters in a single size.
		As the range of typeface designs increased and requirements of publishers broadened over the centuries, fonts of specific weight (flness or lightness) and stylistic variants—most commonly "regular" or roman as distinct to italic, as well as condensed—have led to font families, collections of closely related typeface designs that can include hundreds of styles.
