So if you’re getting a professional font to use with Office, be sure to get the TrueType versions. What’s the difference between a font and a typeface? Historically, ◊em{typeface} referred to the overall family (e.g., Baskerville) and ◊em{font} referred to a specific instance of the family (e.g., 10-point Baskerville bold italic). This distinction made sense in the letterpress age, when each font corresponded to a case of metal type. But as Bryan Garner has pointed out, “[t]echnology has changed the meaning of this term ... font most often denotes a whole family of styles that can be printed at almost any size.” (◊em{Garner’s Modern American Usage}, 3rd ed., page 364.) Internet pedants may carp, but it’s fine to use ◊em{font} to mean both the family and a specific style.
