The amount that a font or container can hold; a fontful of liquid.
Compound word formed from 'font' plus the productive English suffix '-ful,' meaning 'full of' or 'the quantity that fills.' Follows the pattern of words like 'handful,' 'cupful,' and 'spoonful.'
'Fontful' is rarely used today because in modern times we measure things in liters and gallons rather than by the container, but it's a perfectly logical word formation that echoes archaic measurement patterns.
