I don't understand the stitch directions.  What is a Font stitch?

I think that is actually supposed to be «front» post (stitch), Fern, judging by the mention of a «back» post (stitch). It looks to me like a copy & paste error. I did use both the front and back posts and my sample looked like their sample. So try using the front and back posts. That should make the stitch look puffed up and puffed down. It's a very pretty stitch.
