<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Usually, "font" was translated to Catalan \
as "tipus de lletra". But some time ago (1-2 years ago?), Catalan normative \

Catalan entity (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.termcat.cat/en">https://www.termcat.cat/en</a>) stated that \
"font" in the sense of "letters and symbols" that are shown in programs or apps
must be translated as "lletra".
Until Plasma 5 "font" was translated to Catalan as "tipus de lletra".
For Plasma 6, this is an important change because we need to identify
how we translate English "font" to Catalan between two options:
- "font" in the sense of file describing a set of letters or
- "lletra" (or "lletres" in plural) when the font is shown/printed in
a program or app
Besides this, "tipus de lletra" is a masculine noun and invariable in
number, but "font" (also masculine noun) it can be singular or
plural, and "lletra" is a feminine noun and it can be singular or
plural. So, we must change some determinants and adjectives to match
these noun changes. So, when a program enters in Plasma 6, we review
it (also their documentation) and can make the appropriate changes.
I'm sorry for this long mail.
