mru, I'm glad you brought up AmiPro and WordPerfect and that the misuse of the
term 'font' now comes from more correct use back then.  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.
