The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):

glyph An image used in the visual representation of characters; roughly speaking, how a character looks. A font is a set of glyphs. In the simple case, for a given font (typeface and size), each character corresponds to a single glyph but this is not always the case, especially in a language with a large alphabet where one character may correspond to several glyphs or several characters to one glyph (a character encoding). Usually used in reference to outline fonts, in particular TrueType. (1998-05-31)
