Something everyone who works with type (and that includes you MS Word jockeys) should know, from type designer Mark Simonson: “The physical embodiment of a collection of letters (whether it’s a case of metal pieces or a computer file) is a font. When referring to the design of the collection (the way it looks) you call it a typeface."
This is from the preamble to Typographica’s Favorite Typefaces of 2007, which is always worth a look; as The Great Emancipator said: “People who like this sort of thing will find that this is the sort of thing that they like."
