Which of these is not a computer font?

A computer font (or font) is implemented as a digital data file containing a set of graphically related glyphs, characters, or symbols such as dingbats. Although the term font first referred to a set of movable metal type pieces in one style and size, since the 1990s it is generally used to refer to a set of digital shapes in a single style, scalable to different sizes. A font family or typeface refers to the collection of related fonts across styles and sizes.

Linux is a family of free and open-source software operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution.

These are not "computer fonts", they are just "fonts". They pre-date computers, and some have been in use for hundreds of years. The question writer is clearly a child of this century!

I use the most popularly used font of New Roman.

For those of us using fonts long before computers were born, it might be confusing to call these "computer fonts". Granted, they are now, but they weren't invented only for computers.

I remember my son experimenting using Linux, Ubunto, rather than Windows, when he was younger.
