1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: fontology n. [XEROX PARC] The body of knowledge dealing with the construction and use of new fonts (e.g., for window systems and typesetting software). It has been said that fontology recapitulates file-ogeny. [Unfortunately, this reference to the embryological dictum that ?Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny? is not merely a joke. On the Macintosh, for example, System 7 has to go through contortions to compensate for an earlier design error that created a whole different set of abstractions for fonts parallel to ?files? and ?folders? ?ESR]
