[OpenFontLibrary] Site terminology: Fonts/Typefaces

[Schrijver]

But the uploaders also say fonts when they mean one of the fonts that  
is part of a typeface,

So I would say use both, so the downloaders are more likely to have a  
clue what it’s about, yet the uploaders won’t feel disrespected.

Ie, referring to the designs as typefaces, and individual files as  
fonts…
like

“If you are interested in designing a typeface…”

and

“We offer typefaces with free and open licences. Feel free the browse  
the large collection of fonts available for download.”
