Get a better dictionary. The word has been in the language more than four hundred years. It currently has a fairly common technical meaning of "adding colour to old monochrome photos or films". In any case, you don't need a dictionary, because -ize is a productive formation. > Btw, font is spelled fount in British English. Suggest you don't propound on languages other than your own. That used to be true in the days of metal type, although even so both spellings have been in use through the last few centuries. Then, "fount" was a technical term that few people would have cause to use. With the advent of computers, the "font" spelling has completely supplanted the "fount" spelling in everyday usage. Within the industry, some current British letterpress printers use "fount" for metal type and "font" for digital type, while others use "font" for both. -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list [email protected] http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
