font baptismal : Selon le Trésor de la langue française, cette graphie est à éviter. Le Petit Robert et le Petit Larousse citent uniquement la forme au pluriel, «fonts» étant au pluriel alors que «font» y est absent. Même son de cloche avec le Multidictionnaire de la langue française qui précise que «fonts» ne s'emploie que dans cette expression. 8, record 1, French, - fonts%20baptismaux
