I missed the number of episodes and the title of the omnibus book. (It would have been funny if they'd called it "The Rice Papers".)

You're the font guy - you tell ME. (And BTW, while you're at it, the world needs a "sarcasm" font even more urgently.)
Serious question though, as you *are* a font designer. The modern terms "upper case" and "lower case" derive from the early days of movable typefaces, when individual letters were stored in boxes along the printer's workbench, and for each letter there was an "upper" and a "lower" case.
So...
1) Is there any difference between a "font" and a "typeface", or are the terms completely synonymous?
2) Is there any other word for lower case letters, like we have "capital letters" for upper case?

From what I understand, in the digital realm "font" and "typeface" are synonymous... However, "font" in the days of metal type meant a given assortment of letters, numbers punctuation and supplemental characters for general printing needs, while "typeface" meant the design style...
According to Wikipedia, the old term "miniscule" also meant lower case, and the popular slang for them are "small letters"...
So, when you order a font such as my Snow Job JNL, you are buying a license to use a digital file, but the term "font" also refers to the style you are buying and using... such as "I set my headline in the font Bookman Old Style and the body copy (text) was in the font Palatino...

Ah yes! "Miniscule"! It had been a long time since I heard that in the context of letters. But yes, that is the contrary to "Capital".
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
