A défaut d'un terme aussi court que le «loft» anglais, il faut préférer les deux premiers équivalents français, exacts et précis; «angle d'ouverture» ne précise pas ce qui est ouvert; «ouverture de la face» et «inclinaison de la face» ne sont corrects qu'en autant que le contexte situe bien qu'il s'agit d'un angle; «loft» est un anglicisme au Canada. 4, record 1, French, - angle%20d%27ouverture%20de%20la%20face
