Font
A fonts is the particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Operating systems based on Linux handle fonts by the fontconfig package.
Typefaces
Typefaces or font families can be roughly divided into the following styles:
- Serif typefaces use serifs - the small feature at the end of the strokes within letters.
- Sans-serif typefaces do not use serifs.
- Monospace typefaces are typefaces with all glyphs having the same width.
Depending on the usage and definition japanese, chinese and korean fonts can be seen as a separate style.
