To a person trained in the mechanics of manuscript composition or familiar with standard typography, some of the typographic terms used in Windows may be unusual.

The original typographic terms were based on hot-metal composition, whereas the terms used in Windows, which appear as member names for the font and text output structures, reflect a new technology based on laser-printer output and composition performed on a personal computer using desktop publishing software.
