(XEROX PARC) The body of knowledge dealing with theconstruction and use of new fonts (e.g. for window systemsand typesetting software). It has been said that fontologyrecapitulates file-ogeny.

Unfortunately, this reference to the embryological dictumthat "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" is not merely a joke.On the Macintosh, for example, System 7 has to go throughcontortions to compensate for an earlier design error thatcreated a whole different set of abstractions for fontsparallel to "files" and "folders" - ESR
