The individual letters in cold type were each cast in a mold. The typesetter would make lines of type by setting each letter into place... backwards... for printing. (Not a job for a dyslexic!) A place where metal is cast is still called a foundry. One of my friends works in bronze and silver and she has her large bronzes cast at a local foundry so she can not only supervise, but do all the hand clean-up and patina work to finish them. The Mirage casino/hotel in Las Vegas has her mermaids and dolphins in the entry, so being a perfectionist does count. :) Casting involves pouring molten metal into a mold, which can be plaster or something else which will break away. Often the original is sculpted in wax... especially jewelry. A plaster mold will be formed around this, the wax will be melted out, and replaced by hot metal. This is known as the "lost wax process". The process was never lost, only the wax. :) And, for Ernyoka, besides "font" the other words I've used here with multiple meaning include "plaster" (a bandage in England, white gypsum compound here... and someone who is plastered is drunk), "mold" (clay (as in heavy dirt), a matrix in which to shape something, green scummy life-form), "wax" (grow larger or something made originally from honeycomb, and "type" (the defining specimen in botany, phenotype and genotype, he's not my type, and letters pouring out onto this screen... hmmm... looks like courier). All grist for a punster! :) Carolly

ya'll are casting this thing in such a strange light.... gracias on the font - shall look wondrous fair within the church, to which I must hasten lest it burn without my weenies. Devil may care attitudes bring what they request...

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)


TrekkieGrrrl ( ) posted Fri, 30 July 2004 at 5:20 AM

But Carolly, all the meanings of plaster clearly means somewhat the same (even to be plastered as in drunk, he's drunk "all over") A better analogy is type, there you have a botanical meaning of the word, and one, typeface (font once again) that has apparently nothing to do with it. And then you can trace both back to something that can use the synonym "sort" A sort of letters and a sort of flower. and he's not my sort of person. Wax isn't a good example either as the two meanings you sketched here are a noun and a verb. Good for word games and puns, but... ;o) But font has 2 different origins, one old english and one vulgar latin (french) - and still both of them will probably show to go back to a mutual latin root. Sorry I'm not that good at explaining these things in english :o) I hope you get the idea (and sorry for having wandered so far off topic)
