Vocabulary of the day: Font
Biasanya kita hanya tahu font dalam bahasa Inggris adalah model huruf (typeface) dalam komputer seperti Arial, Comic Sans MS, atau Garamond. Padahal, kalau Anda menyelidiki kamus, lema font mempunyai arti yang sama sekali berbeda.
font = abundant source of something: somebody or something seen as a source or inexhaustible supply of something.
(Encarta Dictionary - Definition No.3)
'In its censure motion, the federal opposition says the prime minister's aim was to make Mr Bush look like a fool. "[It was] an account so self-serving that it presented him as a diplomatic encyclopaedia, a font of all knowledge, and the president of the United States, the chief executive of our greatest ally, as a fool," Mr Turnbull was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.'
