OK, this is going to get nitpicky and techy!
A "typeface" is a description of the relative shapes of the
characters, like "Arial", "Comic Sans MS", or "Times New Roman".
These can take huge files of pseudo-code to specify. They are not
usually sent with an HTML message.
Technically, a "font" is when the typeface is further
constrained by size (e.g., 12 point), weight (regular, bold),
color and sometimes other attributes (e.g., strikethru).
What gets sent with an HTML email is a font "description" for each
particular string of characters (font names, size, weight, color, etc).
Note that "font names" is a list of names in order to try on the
receiving end. For example ("Arial", "Helvetica", "san serife")
This means: use Arial if you've got it, otherwise use Helvetica,
or as a last resort use your default san serife font).
In any case once an acceptable font has been found, the size,
weight, color, etc. are then applied.
Hope this helps.
