I think "font" is the right term here. They talk about it being "available to download" and "available as part of a Windows pre-release", all of which make more sense when talking about the font (calibri.ttf) rather than the typeface, inasmuch as it one can meaningfully distinguish the two: I'm not aware of any other implementations of Calibri (e.g. OTF), but I'm happy to be corrected.

Ah, but .ttf stands for True TypeFace. Doesn't it?

  TrueType Font, actually.

  TrueType Font, I believe :)

    It was a play on words, a comment on the ongoing confusion over "font" vs. "typeface". (Having worked on font-related software at Adobe, I'm fairly familiar with this.) I did think it was an interesting coincidence that .ttf could be misinterpreted as True TypeFace. Guess I should have thrown a /s in there...
