--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
Do we really gain anything by changing from the all-inclusive use of "font" to
a split and typography correct "font family" made up of "font faces"? 

And sure, as currently evolved--implemented and documented, there are
occasional issues where use of the generic terminology "font" is imprecise, but
never to the point of the UI/GUI being unclear. Users aren't clamoring for it.

If our focus was desktop publishing, maybe such exact terms supporting
"typeface selection" would be more of an issue. Just don't see our common use
of "font" as being detrimental.

Is there some specific technical reason this change is needed? Would it really
improve the workflows, or user comprehension? 

That coupled, with imposing a l10n demand on translators, kind of makes this
change for changes sake.

A pretty solid -1 from me.
