I'd say this has been the case for a minimum of the past 20 years, at least in the US. Here's a screenshot from an early mac control panel. Notice the use of the word "Font" for typeface. http://www.amd.e-tech

Yay diversity! FYI, though, I think this ad is contrary to EEOC rules. My understanding is that its okay to encourage diversity in applicants, but not to state a hiring priority based on race, sex, age, etc. https://www.eeoc.gov&
