n. [XEROX PARC] The body of knowledge dealing with the construction and use
|
|
|
|
|
of new fonts (e.g., for window systems and typesetting software). It has
|
|
|
|
|
been said that fontology recapitulates file-ogeny. [Unfortunately, this
|
|
|
|
|
reference to the embryological dictum that Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny
|
|
|
|
|
is not merely a joke.
