    A font is a "style" (more or less) of writing. It is most frequently used in reference to text typed on a computer.

    If you open up a word processor (such as wordpad) you select from a drop-down list various different "fonts" to choose from. Each has it's own look or "style". It's a way to be creative (or professional depending on what your trying to accomplish) with your writing on web-pages, word documents, etc.

    font is a word that describes the style of typing like Arial font or Times New Roman. Check when you send an email in the top left hand corner it will show and window with the name of a font in it click on the arrow and a list of different fonts should come up. You have a strange dictionary because it is in mine. It also means a water receptacle in churches

    A design for a set of characters. A font is the combination of typeface and other qualities, such as size, pitch, and spacing. For example, Times Roman is a typeface that defines the shape of each character. Within Times Roman, however, there are many fonts to choose from -- different sizes, italic, bold, and so on. (The term font is often used incorrectly as a synonym for typeface.)

    3. a productive source: The book is a font of useful tips for travelers.

    4. the reservoir for oil in a lamp.
