As I said, we are building a Word Processor, not a DTP. Font is more logic to the majority of users than typeface. I did not want to excuse it with Microsoft. But: by time, Font became an industry standard not only defined by MS but also by early StarWriter, AmiPro, wordPerfect, Symphony and so on... Also, get out of the way is not a way of comminicating friendly with people giving you software for free. We have defined this wording here for our product and it won't be changed at all. And of course this is not DEFECT. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Copying others mistakes is not necessary. The term 'font' as it is used in the menu is incorrect confusing. I know of no obligation to copy or perpetuate incorrect menus. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

While I have used WordPerfect and even helped teach it a *very* long time ago, I never actually like the interface. AmiPro was quite nice from what I remember. Older WP's like WordStar and Electric Pen didn't even mention 'font' I mention 'font' there, because back then it really was *font*. You could do some modifications like bold, underline or strikethrough, but you were stuck with the font on the daisywheel or selectric ball until it was physically changed. Some of the early laser printers had similar limitations, and actual *fonts* had to be loaded sometimes through physical cartridges. However, it's been ages and ages since those problems and most users even if they were around then have long since forgotten. Typefaces have been available as a separate choice for a very long time and regardless of long or short history, it is a list of typefaces that the menu in OOo is presenting the user. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Take a look at the menu. You get it by using the right button (if you have not made a left-handed mouse) while hovering over a paragraph in Writer. The menu you get has what's shown in the screen shot, a list of types mislabelled as 'Font' : + default formatting - - - - - + font [which shows typefaces] + size + style + alignment + line spacing - - - - - character... paragraph... page... Numbering/Bullets...

You may be somehow right when talking about tape and printing profession. But in word processors users are more used to the vocable Font when selecting a special font. Thus both most used word processors in the world use the word Font here. And it won't be changed at all.
