  glyph
       
           An image used in the visual representation of
          characters; roughly speaking, how a character looks.  A
          font is a set of glyphs.
       
          font+({typeface" rel="nofollow">In the simple case, for a given font ({typeface and size),
          each character corresponds to a single glyph but this is not
          always the case, especially in a language with a large
          alphabet where one character may correspond to several glyphs
          or several characters to one glyph (a character encoding).
       
          Usually used in reference to outline fonts, in particular
          TrueType.
