I would imagine most designers would prefer to see something like "RSOgfcq" if they're font surfing. An 'A' conveys so little about a typeface.

Doing that forces you to focus on the trees instead of the forest. If you use an actual English word then you can compare gestalts, which is typically more important. That allows you to understand the emotional impact, etc.

Agree that "a" is not helpful, but "RSOgfcq" (or an actual word) is too long to use in such a map.
