i'm done with my preliminary translation of this page from french. i am NOT a french speaker, so if anyone who does speak french and has some grasp on typography would like to edit any of my choices of translation, particularly in terminology, please feel free.

Someone added 'Classicals', 'Modern' and 'Calligraphics' to the article, but as far as I know, these do not belong to the VOX-ATypI classification system. None of the books I own that describe the VOX-ATypI classification have them. Please provide proper references for these additions, or the article needs to be reverted back to before they were added.

I don't know anything about typography, but I came to this page trying to figure out what was meant by a "humanist" typeface. It is listed twice on this page, in different categories. The ambiguity might be worth a mention in the article. 137.71.23.54 ( talk) 19:32, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
The term humanist is being used here in combination with lineal to create a subcategory, and these typefaces only slightly resemble those in the humanist serif category, please? Should be easy!
The capitalization of typeface class names in this article is rather random. I'm going to uncapitalize the following:
blackletter, calligraphic, classical, copperplate, exotic, fracture, geometric, glyphic, graphic, grotesque, humanes, humanist, humanist, humanistic, incise, incised, italic, lineal, linear, linéales, manuaire, manual, mechanical, mechanistic, modern, mécanes, neo-grotesque, realist, script, scripte, slab serif, transitional, uncial
While capitalizing these, because they come from proper nouns:
Aldine, Carolingian, Didone, Garalde, Latin, Non-Latin
I'm unsure about Egyptienne, Egyptian, and Gaelic. Somebody editing before me has gone to long lengths to ensure that egyptian doesn't get capitalized, so I will leave it alone, but I don't understand why - and what does that mean for Egyptienne and Gaelic (both currently capitalized)? Oh, and Venetian? It seems conventional not to capitalize roman in "roman type". "Gothic" should probably have a capital, though..? Card Zero (talk) 18:56, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
